Created in 1969, this work was published by Maeght and printed by Arte Adrien Maeght.  The work is printed on Rives vellum out of the total edition of 75 and hand signed by Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) in pencil in the lower right and numbered 52/75 in pencil in the lower left. Saturating the entire page with a brilliant orange background, Miro presents an animated character with discernable eyes and a grinning mouth.  The tones of purple, orange and white explode towards the viewer, lending a sense of energy and movement to the work.  Offering a narrative impetus, Miro’s title sparks the imagination.  “Pitting poet against craftsman, Miro’s varied strategies aim, more often than not, at surprising existing aesthetic orders by discovering possibilities latent within them” (Lancher, 74).   Catalogue Raisonné & COA:It is fully documented and referenced in the below catalogue raisonnés and texts (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the final sale of the work).    1.
