Passage de l'egyptienne 3 by Joan Miró

  • Year: 1985
  • Technique: Hand-signed etching
  • Size: 45 x 64 cm
  • Edition: 146

The title "El Paso de la Egipcia" (The Passage of the Egyptian Woman) suggests a connection to the mystical and ancestral, but Miró approaches it from an abstract and imaginative perspective. A dominant, curved black line frames a series of abstract forms, while small touches of color—yellow, blue, orange, green, among others—bring vitality and visual rhythm to the composition. These color points can also be interpreted as references to the firmament, evoking constellations and celestial or mythological elements. The work is a clear example of Miró's ability to combine symbolic forms with dynamic expression, creating a unique and poetic visual language.

Joan Miró (Spain, 1893,1983). His career was shaped by several important places: Mont-roig, Paris, Mallorca, New York, and Japan. Mont-roig was essential to his connection with the land and landscape; Paris brought him closer to Surrealist poets and artists; Mallorca became his place of refuge and work; and New York and Japan helped expand the international reach of his art.

His practice included painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, artist’s books, and public art. Although he had links with Surrealism, Miró cannot be reduced to a single movement. He created his own language, based on signs, lines, stains, stars, women, birds, organic forms, and strong colors. His work combines imagination, visual poetry, a deep connection to the Catalan landscape, and a wish to break away from academic art.

His works are part of collections such as the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, Fundació Miró Mallorca, Museo Reina Sofía, MoMA, Tate, and MACBA. His awards include the Grand Prize for Printmaking at the Venice Biennale in 1954 and the Gold Medal of the Government of Catalonia in 1978. Leer menos
