EDITION: Annotated 'H.C.' (hors commerce) in pencil in the lower left, aside from the total edition of 75. CONDITION: A great print with rich, vibrant and saturated color. Very good condition. DISCUSSION: The magnificent scale of this work truly allows us to step into the surreal reality that Miró creates in La Harpie. It is an absolute world full of color, whimsical imagery, and bright, bold shapes. Our imagination runs wild as we see this make-shift witch with her pointed hat and bold, characteristic expression. Surrounded with Miró's iconic starbursts and blotches of purple, green, red, and yellow, this piece is surely one not to be missed. Unique to the print itself, is the textured Carborundum which has been meticulously applied, giving the work an added three-dimensional quality unlike any other print produced during this period. Created in 1969, this original color etching & aquatint with Carborundum is hand signed by Joan Miró (1893 - 1983) in pencil in the lower right. Annotated 'H.C.'
