Original Joan Miró drypoint etching and aquatint in colors "La chouette et l’escargot" (The Owl and the Snail), 1964
A delightful and rare work by Joan Miró, La chouette et l’escargot (The Owl and the Snail) was created in 1964 as a New Year’s greeting card, published by the legendary Parisian art dealer Aimé Maeght. Executed in etching and aquatint in vivid colors on Rives paper, the composition radiates Miró’s unmistakable poetic symbolism and playful imagination.
Issued folded, as intended, this piece bears the printed dedication “Aimé Maeght vous présente ses meilleurs vœux pour 1964…” ("Aimé Maeght sends you his best wishes for 1964") on the interior, with the verso inscribed “Pointe sèche originale de Joan Miró” (Original drypoint by Joan Miró).
Preserved in excellent condition with full margins, this charming artwork reflects the spirit of celebration and creativity.
