Untitled [plate LII] 1958

Joan Miró made this untitled print with lithography, and it's such a playful dance of color and form. I can almost see Miró in his studio, moving around the stone, adding these quirky shapes and lines one by one. There's a green figure at the top, maybe a bug, and right next to it is a blue profile of a head, or maybe it's an animal! The green figure has tiny yellow horns and the blue profile has a weird antenna. All these bright colors—red, blue, yellow, green—they pop against the white. It's like a visual poem. I'd imagine Miró just let his mind wander, making these spontaneous marks that somehow come together. I think this print relates to Miró’s broader style, which feels like it connects to Paul Klee and other artists who were trying to tap into this subconscious world. It's a reminder that artists are always building on each other's ideas. Ultimately, it's not about what it is, but how it makes you feel and what it makes you see.
