Meaning & Analysis
The Show Must Go On by Thierry Noir is a 2015 screenprint on wove paper. This vibrant piece captures Noir’s iconic style with bold lines and bright colours, depicting a lively musical scene. Part of Noir's celebrated Jazz series, it exemplifies his playful yet poignant artistic approach.
Thierry Noir's The Show Must Go On is a vivid representation of his distinctive artistic language. The piece features abstract figures of musicians, rendered in bold outlines and primary colours that echo the exuberance of Jazz music. Noir, known for his murals on the Berlin Wall, brings the same energy and spontaneity to this screenprint. The playful arrangement of characters, each absorbed in their musical act, reflects Noir's ability to infuse life and motion into static images. Published by Howard Griffin Prints for Noir's 2015 exhibition, this artwork not only celebrates music but also captures the spirit of freedom and creativity inherent in his oeuvre.
