Lot Essay

"The spectacle of the sky overwhelms me. I'm overwhelmed when I see the crescent of the moon or the sun in an immense sky. In my paintings, as a matter of fact, there are tiny shapes in great empty spaces" (Miró: I work like a gardener, cited in exh. cat., "Joan Miró", 1893-1993, Fundaió Joan Miró, Barcelona 1993, p. 423).
