Miró - Le Chien Aboyant a La Lune (The Dog Barking at the Moon)

Joan Miró's Le Chien Aboyant à la Lune (The Dog Barking at the Moon - shortened title)

Le chien aboyant à la lune reveille le coq le chant du coq picote le crane du fermier Catalan posé sur la table à coté du pourron (The Dog Barking at the Moon Awakens the Cock, the crowing of the cock pecks at the head of the Catalan Farmer resting ...), 1952

...is a captivating original lithograph that distills the artist's signature Surrealist vocabulary into a dreamlike nocturnal scene. Bold biomorphic forms, a playful canine silhouette, and Miró's characteristic constellation of color and line converge to create a work of enduring poetic energy. Published by Teriade, Paris, and referenced in the definitive catalogues raisonnés (Cramer 25; Mourlot 189), this is a museum-quality impression signed in the plate.
