Joan Miró Le lezard aux plumes d'or (The Lizard with Golden Feathers), 1967

Created in 1967, Le lézard aux plumes d’or exemplifies Joan Miró’s mature sculptural language, in which myth, symbolism, and material experimentation converge into a poetic and distinctly modern form. Emerging from Miró’s long-standing fascination with metamorphic creatures and primordial imagery, the lizard functions as a recurring totem in his oeuvre—symbolizing vitality, regeneration, and the subconscious forces of nature. In this work, the creature is transformed into a fantastical hybrid, its form simultaneously archaic and otherworldly, rooted in ancient Mediterranean myth while unmistakably contemporary in spirit.
