History
Jacques Dupin spoke of the circumstances under which the artist made this work:
May 68, I arrived in Paris to prepare a statement of the Cathedral of Barcelona, I speak with Miró, I showed him my enthusiasm, my anxieties, the game and the challenge of an ambitious spring.
He began painting but he did not end until five years later. The spots, scratches, fingerprints and black graphics are evidence of the activity that caused this work.[2]
The paintings of this effervescent period were part of a retrospective exhibition for the seventy-fifth anniversary of the artist, which took place at the Maeght Foundation, the Miró Foundation and Cathedral of Barcelona and Haus der Kunst in Munich.[2&#
