Miró designed and created the above-mentioned composition for his own exhibition at the Museum in Céret in 1977. This work dates from Miró’s late period, characterized by a radically simplified form: Here we see a black, almost “monstrous” yet joyful figure, which may symbolize primal energy or the Catalan spirit.
The inscription “Miró à Céret,” written in the artist’s own hand, is an integral part of the composition, lending it a personal, even intimate character as an invitation into his world.
Céret is a small town in the French part of Catalonia (Eastern Pyrenees). In the early 20th century, it became a center of the international avant-garde—Picasso, Braque, and Juan Gris were among its regular visitors. For Miró, a proud Catalan, Céret was a place that bridged the French art scene with his native culture. Céret is a town of immense significance for modern art (often called the “Mecca of Cubism”), and Miró had strong ties to the region and its museum.
Original, large-format lithographs by Miró are extremely rare on the Polish art market.
