About the Item
Joan Miró’s Ubu aux Baléares is a luminous example of the artist’s late graphic work, bringing together his unmistakable visual language—playful, instinctive, and subversive. Created in 1971 as a series of 23 original color lithographs, the project reimagines the absurdist world of Alfred Jarry’s "Ubu Roi" against the sun-drenched, surreal landscape of the Balearic Islands, where Miró lived and worked.
Each composition in the series balances spontaneity with control, using Miró’s signature elements: floating biomorphic forms, bold calligraphic lines, and punctuating bursts of color. The result is a body of work that feels both ancient and modern—evoking cave paintings, graffiti, constellations, and subconscious visions all at once.
Despite their minimalist appearance, these lithographs resonate with rich subtext. They oscillate between the comic and the cryptic, the grotesque and the poetic—drawing the viewer into a visual narrative that unfolds without words. As with much of Miró’s printmaking, there is a deep musicality in the rhythm of his forms: each line seems to dance, each shape hums with quiet energy.
Printed by the renowned Atelier Mourlot and published by Tériade—both longtime collaborators of the greatest 20th-century modernists—the Ubu aux Baléares suite represents a high point in Miró’s mature style. It distills a lifetime of invention into visual haiku: concise, vivid, and entirely Miró.

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.”
