Originally created for a poster showcasing Miró 's recent works at Galerie Maeght in 1953, this lively Joan Miró L'Exposition d'oeuvres recentes (Exhibition Recent Works), 1953 is noteworthy for its mottled coloration that relays a strong sense of texture, particularly in the black and white speckled border. Another intriguing element to this work is Miró use of a horizontally layered composition; he places an individual image within each layer yet retains a cohesive whole. Miró toys with texture and color, creating a speckled outer border that relays the impression of a rough surface. The central rectangle utilizes strong color contrasts between red and blue and depicts a central line containing one of Miró's trademark stars and whimsical figures, bearing resemblance to a person reclining. This original color lithograph was printed before the lettering seen on the poster, allowing the viewer to focus on Miró's whimsical figures rather than the writing.

Created in 1953, this color lithograph is hand signed in the lower right in pencil by Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983). Numbered from the edition of 150 in pencil in the lower left, this work is published by Maeght, Paris and printed by Mourlot.
