Makemono is the largest print by Joan Miró, measuring an astounding ten meters. A lithographic masterpiece inspired by Asian calligraphic scrolls, it elegantly merges Chinese and Japanese traditions with European surrealism, a unique blend of East and West. In this format Mirós idiosyncratic motifs of birds, eyes and the moon - a visual language of bold black strokes against a palette of blue, green, red and yellow - become an idiosyncratic narrative which can be followed along the length of the scroll.

The silk fabric is rolled with two wooden batons, and housed in the original hand-carved, painted and varnished box, designed by Miró himself.
