The magnificent scale of this work truly allows us to step into the surreal reality that Miró creates in La Harpie. It is an absolute world full of color, whimsical imagery, and bright, bold shapes. Our imagination runs wild as we see this make-shift witch with her pointed hat and bold, characteristic expression. Surrounded with Miró’s iconic starbursts and blotches of purple, green, red, and yellow, this piece is surely one not to be missed. Unique to the print itself, is the textured Carborundum which has been meticulously applied, giving the work an added three-dimensional quality unlike any other print produced during this period.

Created in 1969, this color etching & aquatint with Carborundum is hand signed by Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) in pencil in the lower right. This work is numbered from the edition of 75 in pencil in the bottom left margin. Printed by Morsang, Paris on Arches paper and published by Maeght éditeur, Paris.
