His book, Miró as Sculptor, took a personal look into his friendship with Miró and explored his various techniques in the art of printmaking, engraving, and lithography. The lithograph created for this book is iconic of Miró's later works, with bold, black strokes that permeate the surrealist realm of red, green, and blue. On the left we see a little figure with eyes an a mouth, presumably the "sculptor" at work. Created in 1974, this work was the only lithograph produced by Joan Miró especially for the book (of the same title) written by Jacques Dupin. Annotated H.C.
