Joan Miró Ubu aux Baléares, 1971 is a prolific series that revolves around the character of Ubu on the Balearic Island in his last years in exile. In this scene we are presented with rich imagery that is vibrant and playful. Two forms greet us, with one reaching for a mysterious object while the other watches. Perhaps Ubu is dreaming of his past, wanting to change his actions that led him to exile, as he can’t quite grasp the thing he so desires. A series that had a strong personal meaning for Miró, you can see in the minimal use of line and shape a beautiful delicateness and humor.
