EDITION: Noted H.C. for 'Hors Commerce' in pencil in the lower left; an artist's proof aside from the edition of 315 on Guarro paper. CONDITION: A great print with rich, saturated color. Great condition. DISCUSSION: 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. Noted H.C. in pencil in the lower left out of the total edition of 315 on Guarro paper. Printed by La Polígrafa, S.A., Barcelona and hand signed by Joan Miró in pencil in the lower right margin. Brilliant in execution and superbly saturated in color, this is a classically surrealist work which could only have been created by Joan Miró. Inherent in its composition is a controlled chaos, with series of colored, grid-like patterns that explode in a myriad of curved lines and spotted forms. Primary colors of red, blue, and yellow dominate the composition with accenting tones of green, purple, and orange. 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.
