In good conditions, except for some visible stains on the higher margin at the center and a medial vertical fold of the paper at the center of the sheet. While Joan Miró (1893-1983) rejected any formal association with movements or groups, including the Surrealists, André Breton recognized him as “the most Surrealist of us all”. His artistic approach encouraged the free play of associations, and envisaged “accidents” to provoke reactions closely connected to subconscious experiences. Miró’s famous motifs consist of freely reshaped fragments cut from catalogs for machinery on canvases to form black silhouettes – solid or in outline, with dramatic accents of white and red.
