Description

Subject Matter:

Miro began creating lithographs fairly late in his career, creating his first color lithographs in 1948. Here we see the same bright colors and abstract forms found in his earlier Surrealist work but more relaxed and soft. 

Physical Description:

This bright, abstract print includes a red ring in the upper right corner which overlaps a larger yellow ring.  There are splotches of light green and black dots. Black and pink intersecting lines are layered over the rings.
