Historical Description

Inherent within this masterful composition is a sense of controlled chaos, with series of colored, grid-like patterns that explode in a myriad of curved lines and spotted forms. Primary colors of red, blue, and yellow dominate the composition with accenting tones of green, purple, and orange. Each gesture is a deliberate complement to each line and shape, making way for a whimsical, playful piece into which Miró has breathed a life of its own.

Created in 1975, this work is one of a series of 22 lithographs by Joan Miró to illustrate the book, Maravillas con Variaciones Acrósticas en El Jardín de Miró by Rafael Alberti. Hand signed by Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983) in pencil in the lower right, this work is numbered from the edition of 75 in pencil in the lower left. Printed by La Polígrafa, S.A., Barcelona and published by Ediciones Polígrafa, S.A., Barcelona.
