Keith Haring
Untitled, 1982 (Cannibal)

1982

About the Item

Untitled, 1982 is a sumi ink on paper, 38.25 x 50" image size, signed and dated verso 'SEPT.21 - 82 + K. Haring' and framed in a custom, gold-leaf frame. Haring’s image of a man-eating monster is partly influenced by the artist Hieronymus Bosch as Haring often cited Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, 1503-1504 as a profound influence on his art, along with Dante’s Inferno. Additionally, it recalls the Cyclops of the Odyssey and both Goya’s and Ruben’s depictions of Saturn Devouring His Son. Untitled, 1982 may also obliquely reference a scene in Dante’s Divine Comedy (specifically the 9th Circle of Hell, cantos 31 – 34) wherein Satan chews on the three ‘arch’ traitors of all time (as far as Dante was concerned) - Cassius, Judas, and Brutus.

    Ronnie Cutrone Original bird drawing (hand signed and inscribed by Ronnie Cutrone), 1990 Original signed drawing done in marker held in hardback monograph with dust jacket Boldly signed, dated and inscribed by Ronnie Cutrone on the first front end page 11 × 9 1/2 × 3/4 inches Original signed drawing done in marker held in monograph, dated and inscribed by Ronnie Cutrone on the first front end page. The inscription reads: For David & Barbara Ronnie Cutrone 90 Book information: Publisher: ‎ Martin Lawrence Limited Editions, (January 1, 1990) English; Hardcover; 46 pages with 44 color and 11 monochrome illustrations About Ronnie Cutrone: Ronnie Cutrone (July 10, 1948 – July 21, 2013) was an American pop artist known for his large-scale paintings of some of America's favorite cartoon characters, such as Felix the Cat, Pink Panther, Woody Woodpecker and No Glove No Love. Cutrone's paintings are colorful, lively, and less challenging than those of his contemporaries. As Andy Warhol's assistant at the Factory atop the Decker Building from 1972 until 1980, Cutrone worked with Warhol on paintings, prints, films, and other concepts, eventually co-opting Warhol's earliest work (pre-1960) as well as works by Roy Lichtenstein and others, until finally distilling those myriad influences into the style a few critics eventually labeled "Post-Pop." He exhibited at the Niveau Gallery in 1979 with a Scottish artist called Mike Gall who showed paintings of Snoopy, Mickey and Minnie mouse, the Pink Panther and also a small series of Peter Rabbit paintings...
