NOTES
In this color lithograph, Joan Miró depicted a biomorphic figure in vivid natural surroundings, indicated by the presence of stars and a green crescent moon. The contrast between smooth fields of color and smeared or smudged crayon marks emphasizes the materiality of lithographic production. This process involves drawing with a greasy or oily medium on limestone, and enhances the textured appearance of this print. This textural contrast becomes more pronounced in Miró’s later 1969 print, The Illiterate - Blue.
