*NOVEMBER 10, 1972 Oil and graphite on masonite Signed and dated 10/XI/72 II on the back 15.5 x 111.5 cm - 6.1 x 43.7 in. Signed and dated 10/XI/72 II on the back, Oil and pencil on masonite Provenance: - Doña Pilar Juncosa (widow of the artist) - Estate of Joan Miro, Sotheby's, Madrid, 9 December 1986 - Collection Particulière, Paris - Collection Particulière, Genève Bibliographie: - Jacques Dupin, Joan Miró Catalogue Raisonné: Paintings: Volume V: 1969-1975. Paris, Daniel Lelong Publisher, 2003. Work listed and reproduced under number 1465 on page 104 of the book "Miro aime la lumière, le soleil, la limpidité du ciel et du bleu qui le constitue. He also likes bright and clear colours, those that can be used without barguing in their complementarity or opposition, existing in the purity of the Mediterranean soil where the painter chose to establish his studio in Palma de Mallorca. So it is with Miro's painting. It always remains present in everyday life with the hope of tomorrow. He who still declares: "When I have finished a work, I see in it the beginning of a new work. But nothing more than a starting point to go in the opposite direction." Joan Miro knows how to give time to his contemporaries and establishes the imperative presence of those, writers or poets, who will give extra soul to his dreams. (...) In the years that followed, his painting was confronted with large formats. Black often contrasts with other colours, supported by a more ultimate language. Miro also knows how to speak of the day and the blue of the sky, of this azure which, as the philosopher Gaston Bachelard said, constitutes "the deep colour of dreams". (...) In the solitude of his large studio, Miro explores a new territory on which few creators, before him, had dared to step forward. He appropriates the space, to which only our gaze finally gives access. It invests it and makes it palpable. The inaccessible then seems within reach, that by the sole power of the painter, magician intercessor who has put himself in difficulty to make us discover the world in another way. In the last years of its creation, Miro focused on the essentials. The line thickens, black, wide, deep, deep, guided by a hand that does not flicker, never dither. In this ultimate work, his time is now divided between drawing, watercolour or gouache, always unequalled." (Jean-Louis Prat in Exhibition Catalogue, Miro, La couleur de mes rêves, Grand Palais, Paris, 3 October 2018- 4 February 2019, p. 18)
