Rupestres IX; and Rupestres X (Cave Paintings IX; and Cave Paintings X)
Created late in his career, these two lithographs from Miró's *Rupestres* (Cave Paintings) series reflect his lifelong fascination with primordial imagery and the raw, spontaneous marks found in prehistoric art. Rendered in his signature visual language of bold biomorphic forms, gestural lines, and vivid color, the works evoke a sense of ancient symbolism filtered through a distinctly Surrealist lens. Numbered 28/30 and 29/30 from a limited edition of thirty, with an additional fifteen hors commerce impressions, these rare prints were published by the prestigious Maeght gallery in Barcelona, underscoring their significant place within Miró's graphic oeuvre.
