Vibrant vintage original Miro in lithography and stencil, featuring his familiar vibrant colour palette. While this looks like it also includes his characteristically playful and colorful forms, its symbolism is not idyllic. Created during the Spanish Civil War, the artwork reflects the anxieties of a country at war with itself. Miró himself referred to his works from this period as his "wild oeuvre" and this work is often seen as his equivalent of Picasso's "Guernica".

Signed in plate bottom left. Lithograph verso with signature, dated "Mars, 1938", titled and with a design.

The twin works were created by master printers Mourlot Freres in Paris having been commissioned by the art entrpreneur Teriade and distributed with the third issue of his stunning art quarterly Verve. One of 100 included in the rare bound hardcover omnibus.

14"x10" on cream double weight Arches velin paper, matted to 16"x12" in a gold wooden frame.
