Joan Miró

Colombine Au Saut Du Lit (Cramer 1203)

Joan Miró's 1980 lithograph "Colombine Au Saut Du Lit" exemplifies the Spanish artist's distinctive biomorphic vocabulary, rendered in vibrant colors on large format Arches paper. The work, limited to an edition of 50 and printed by the renowned atelier Arte Adrien Maeght in Paris, captures Miró's playful approach to abstraction through organic forms and gestural mark making. The title references Colombine, the commedia dell'arte character, suggesting a narrative quality typical of Miró's poetic visual language that bridges figuration and abstraction.
