Miró had a brilliant mind, full of ideas that represented his outlook on the world and expressed it in the only way he knew how: simplicity in its purest form. In this work we see Miró’s interpretation of a garden that is superbly saturated in color. Inherent in its composition is a controlled chaos, with a series of colored, grid-like patterns that explode in a myriad of curved lines and spotted forms creating a form. Each gesture is a deliberate complement to each line and shape, making way for a whimsical, playful piece 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.
