Joan Miró La Melodie Acide #13 (The Acid Melody #13), 1980 was created in collaboration with Patrick Waldberg, a well-known surrealist writer and art historian. The artist often interacted with poems and works of literature as he was developing his own visual language. For Miro, art was the perfect medium to express written poetry. In this lithograph, a central figure filled in black occupies the page, an ambiguous form that mimics shape and meaning. Crisp colors of red, blue, green, and yellow, which are common in Miró’s oeuvre, adorn the monstrous formation, filling in the blocked off sections of negative space that compound into an illustrious work. Surrounding this amorphous figure are lightly drawn circles that wrap around each other. This effectively emphasizes the character and adds a decorative element to this piece. The eclectic array of color, form and texture ensure that this work will stand out in any room.
