About the Item
This original etching and aquatint is hand signed and dated in pencil by the artist "Miró 1947" at the lower right.
It is also hand numbered in pencil from the edition of 300, at the lower left corner.
The etching and aquatint was printed by Atelier 17, New York, in 1947 in a limited edition of 300 impressions. There were also five artist’s proofs.
It was published by Laurel Gallery, New York.
Note: This work was commissioned by Chris Ritter, the director of the Laurel Gallery, New York, in 1947. He had planned to publish periodicals, which would contain literature, original prints, calligraphy and utilise handmade papers – much in the style of those published in Europe. This piece, Woman and Bird in Front of the Moon, was included in the very first periodical, published in 1947. The folio also contained works by Anne Ryan, Stanley William Hayter, Reginald Marsh, George Constant, and Will Barnet. The periodical was a relatively short-lived project with only four issues being realised before the Laurel Gallery stopped the project. Other impressions of the subject can be found in the collections of Cleveland Art Gallery, Ohio, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Dallas Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

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.”
