About the Item
Joan Miró Une Femme (A Woman), 1958 studies the shape of a woman’s body through dream-like representation of fantastically strange anatomical parts. Unconcerned with symmetry, the body dominates the rectangular pictorial space, showing off all angles of its fascinating proportions. The beautiful arabesque lines lead the viewer’s eye around the woman’s small curved face and flowing hair, to her waving arms, to her monumental legs. The rich earthy color of her body glows against the cool green background. The window above her echoes the parallel lines of the floor at her feet, and the vivid blue sliver in the window repeats in the diagonal blue forms dissecting the woman’s body. The abstract shapes and lines of the woman and the space around her come together beautifully to create Miró’s surreal realm.
Created in 1958, this color lithograph is hand-signed by Joan Miro (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983) in the lower right and numbered from an edition of 300 in the lower left. This color lithograph was created after the original oil on wood of the same title from 1932.

Joan Miró
With his wide-ranging oeuvre, comprising strikingly original paintings, prints, ceramics, sculptures, metal engravings and murals, Catalan modernist Joan Miró was a critical force in moving 20th-century art toward complete abstraction. Although often considered an early Surrealist because of his nonobjective imagery and evocation of the subconscious, he defies neat categorization.
Miró’s identity is largely rooted in the city of his birth: Barcelona. To this day, a number of his public artworks can be found there, including the 72-foot-tall statue Dona i Ocell (Woman and Bird), 1983. Female and avian forms, along with bright colors and the theme of Catalan pride, are recurring elements in his work.
The radical visual world Miró created with his expressive lines, signature symbols and biomorphic shapes influenced such American Abstract Expressionists as Jackson Pollock and Color Field painters like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.
Mirò continued to work and experiment until his death at the age of 90 in 1983. Five years before that, he was quoted saying, “I painted these paintings in a frenzy, with real violence so that people will know that I am alive, that I’m breathing, that I still have a few more places to go. I’m heading in new directions.”
