A selection from the publication that accompanies this image reads, “Man the imitated illusion, pure eyes in the woods, are searching in tears for a habitable head.” In this abstract character one can see Miró’s interpretation of Char’s surrealist vision. Depicting an image made of red, blue and green with a variety of textural qualities, this work conveys a sense of movement and liveliness. The juxtaposition of vertical and horizontal lines set against a textured background creates a charismatic work that leads the viewer's eye from the center of the composition outwards, always engaging.

Created in 1976, this color etching and aquatint on Japon paper is hand-signed by Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 – Palma, 1983) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered from the edition of 50 in Roman numerals in pencil in the lower left margin.
