Untitled [plate XXX] 1958

This untitled print by Joan Miró, it's all about simple shapes and colors dancing together on the page. The yellow feels sunny, a big brushstroke that’s almost playful, and it sits right on top of this odd looking character. The eyes are what get me – one green, one blue, staring out from a wonky, ringed head. There’s a real sense of texture in the print, you can imagine Miró pressing the block down, getting that slightly imperfect transfer. It’s not about perfection; it’s about the joy of the process. That little star at the bottom? It could be anything, a tiny burst of energy holding the whole composition together. It’s like he’s winking at us, reminding us not to take things too seriously. Miró reminds me of Paul Klee in this print, in the way they both aim for that childlike sense of freedom. It’s all about finding the magic in the everyday, turning simple forms into something that feels alive and full of possibility.
