Historical Description

Joan Miró Lithograph VII from Miró, Obra Inedita Recent, 1964 utilizes a subdued color palette of softened greens, yellows, and browns to highlight the exquisite pattern of these swirling black forms. Flitting horizontally across the piece, delicate black lines twist and turn. Despite the somewhat topsy-turvy nature of the piece, the forms retain a sense of order and balance as they line up horizontally across the page and gently guide the viewer's eye across the surface, highlighted with patches of color.

Created in 1964, this color lithograph is published by Sala Gaspar, Barcelona and printed on Guarro paper. From a series of eleven color lithographs used in the book Miró, Obra Inedita Recent. Initialed 'M' by Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983) in the lower right in pencil, this work is numbered 58/100 in pencil in the lower left on Guarro paper. Texts by Joan Brossa, A.Cirici and E. Cirlot. This book was originally published as a catalogue for the Miró exhibitions at the Sala Gaspar, Galeria Metras, and Belarte of Barcelona, 1964.
