Euterpia
Keith Haring, 1987, Marker drawing
On commission, Haring conceived this illustration as a label design for a Belgian restaurant's house red. The joy of the image is a celebration that echoes the pleasure of a good meal and glass of wine shared among friends. Euterpe, the Greek muse of music from whom the restaurant takes its name, breathes her spirit into the image, as the grapes like beats accompany the man in his dance.
