Joan Miro-Oiseau Zephyr

Joan Miró's Oiseau Zéphyr (1956) is an original lithograph created for the iconic Derrière le Miroir portfolio — the Maeght Éditeur publication that became one of the defining vehicles for Miró's printmaking during his most prolific period. The Zephyr Bird, a recurring motif in Miró's mythological universe, appears here with characteristic wit and freedom: fluid contour, animated color, and the sense of weightless flight that defines his avian imagery. Catalogued in Cramer 34, this is a distinguished impression from a landmark year in the artist's graphic work.
