Joan Miró Le Rebelle (The Rebel), 1967 portrays a quizzical figure that stands straight in the center of the composition. The focal point of the large head is a wide red eye which stares piercingly ahead. Slightly below the eye are two soft circles of blue and pink color which look like blush covered cheeks. Similarly textured fuzzy circles of color appear across the composition in yellow, gold, brown and green. The stark black body of the figure is etched deep and dark, showing the technical aspects of the engraving medium. Beautiful texture appears around the neck of the figure and also on the head, adding to the technical and aesthetic appeal of the work. Though working in the abstract, Miró had the uncanny talent to turn his shapes into figure with feelings, thoughts, and personalities of their own. This animation of the etching and aquatint is what makes Le Rebelle so special and compelling.

Created in 1967, this color etching and aquatint with carborundum on Mandeure paper is hand-signed by Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 – Palma, 1983) in pencil in the lower right margin; numbered from the edition of 75 in pencil in the lower left margin. Printed and published by Maeght Éditeur, Paris.
