Total edition was 175Condition: This work is in very good condition, colors are bright and fresh  Description:Based on the translation of the title of the poem, this second illustration of Chilean writer, Pablo Neruda’s work appears to be in the shape of a four-legged animal, a character in the poem of which it portrays.  Again, just as in the first, this work evokes a playful natures in the way Miró’s brushstroke is applied in a haphazard and carefree manner.  It is simple yet colorful – implying that the most simple forms of expression can be the most moving, descriptive, and powerful.  The myriad of mostly primary colors, red, yellow, green, and blue allow for a richer composition breathing life into this series of lines and curves.   Created in 1972, this original color etching & aquatint is one of two illustrations by Joan Miró for Pablo Neruda’s poem, El Sobreviviente Visita Los Pájaros.  Hand-signed in pencil by Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) in the lower right margin, this print features a strong and defined plate mark and is printed on Rives wove paper.  Printed by Arte Adrien Maeght, Paris and published by Le Vent d’Arles Editeur, Paris.
