Information about the work

Image description

Against a light background, powerful black lines unfold, forming figures, symbols, and suggestions. Rounded, organic shapes meet sharp, almost explosive elements that spread across the surface. Accents of green, red, and a warm orange punctuate the drawing, creating rhythmic focal points. The composition appears open and dynamic, as if it were created in a single, concentrated moment. A tension arises between emptiness and density, drawing the eye and revealing ever-new details.

Artistic context

The sheet was created in 1971 as part of the album.Ubu in the Balearic Islands, which Miró in dialogue with Alfred Jarry's absurdist playKing Ubucreated. In this late creative phase, Miró increasingly reduced his visual language to elementary signs, lines, and areas of color, without losing any of its expressive power. The lithograph on Arches wove paper allows for a direct connection between drawing and color and underscores the gestural character of the work. Printed by Mourlot and published by Tériade in Paris, the print represents the highest printmaking quality. The limited edition of 120 copies, the artist's own signature, and the clear references in the catalogues raisonnés by Maeght and Mourlot make this work a sought-after collector's item of late modernism.

Joan Miró

Joan Miró is among the most influential artists of the 20th century. His art moves between Surrealism, abstraction, and a unique, poetic visual world. Miró developed a visual and color language that appears deliberately naive yet possesses great intellectual precision. Central themes include freedom, play, the subconscious, and the dissolution of traditional pictorial order. Within art history, Miró occupies a key position, as he liberated painting and graphic art from narrative constraints and opened new avenues of artistic thought, the impact of which continues to this day.
