Joan Miró (Spanish, 1893-1983) La Cascade, 1964 Color Lithograph Signed and numbered 14/75 in pencil 34 x 23 inches "The flowing cascade of water on the left vertical runs amok from the oval water source placed high into the corner. Although Miro cherished the act of automatic or random drawing, we see the festive transcendence of dark figurative apparitions. Circular elements stream through the composition like planetary orbits. Playful volleys of color are cemented within the picture plane with the complementing obscure color palette.”
