EDITION: Numbered 7/50 in pencil in the lower left. CONDITION: A great print with rich, vibrant and saturated color. Very good condition. DISCUSSION: This fantastic composition, echoing the shape of Joan Miró's unique handprint in the center, is rich and vibrant with a myriad of color. There are dramatic rays of red, green, blue, and black which radiate from the center against a background of whimsical starbursts and blotches of purple and orange. It seems to magnify or "eulogize" the symbolism of the hand which has a contrasting gleam of yellow in the center. The entire print seems to engulf the viewer in a surrealistic environment that appears to be alive with movement and energy. Created in 1974, this work is hand signed by Joan Miró (1893 - 1983) in pencil in the lower right. Numbered 7/50 in pencil in the lower left and printed by Morsang, Paris on Arches paper.
