Joan Miró has often been referred to as an artist who was part of the Surrealist movement by attempting to visually analyze scenes of the human psyche and manifesting them into bright drips, strokes, and splashes of color.  Through these varying modes of expression we see a glimpse into Miró’s own artistic energy and creativity.  With l’Adorateur du Soleil, bold circles of blue and red are placed on top of one another, encased in a swirling motion of black strokes dotted with bits of green, pink, and yellow.  The print holds a textured surface quality; one can literally feel the color emanating from the work.  His use of expressive splatters of line and form swirl around like masses of energy and life; he creates for an audience that shares his same passion and spirit as seen specifically with this piece.  These ideas of conceptual motion, brightly colored and inherently full of vivacity, are what makes Miró one of the most treasured artists of our time.    Created in 1969, this work was printed on Arches wove paper out of the edition of 75 using combined techniques of etching with aquatint & carborundum.  Published by Maeght éditeur, Paris and printed by Morsang, Paris.  It is hand-signed by Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) in pencil in the lower right and annotated HC (hors commerce) in pencil in the lower left.
