Miro

115286 — 1974 . Etching and aquatint in colours 1974 on Arches wove paper signed in pencil and numbered 49/50 from the edition of 50 printed by Morsang Paris published by Maeght Paris sheet: 1392 x 960 mm. 54 x 37 in.<br /> 'La Femme Toupie' bursts with vibrant splashes of bright green yellow and orange. Created in 1974 this print is part of a series of 60 that Miró made between 1974 and 1975 using a combination of etching and aquatint. Central to the composition is the figure of a woman outlined in thick black lines. While abstracted in Miró's signature style her large black eyes nose and red mouth emerge distinctly. She raises her arms high and kicks one leg out spinning with joyful motion. Stars crown her head while swirling grey and orange washes behind her head enhance the print's sense of dynamic movement. A playful and evocative print it conveys both spontaneity and a deep emotional resonance.<br /> Dupin 652 1974 unknown
