Untitled [plate XXXVI] 1958

Joan Miró’s “Untitled [plate XXXVI]” (1958) is a striking example of the artist's signature abstract style. Characterized by bold, simplified forms and a vibrant color palette, the print features two dominant black shapes against a white background, resembling tall, narrow columns. They are intersected by horizontal bands of color, with a blue line at the top and a red line at the bottom, and a yellow shape resembling an eye or a small sun, evoking a sense of playful whimsy. The work's sparse composition and simple forms are characteristic of Miró's later works, which explore themes of the subconscious, dreams, and the natural world through abstract expression.
