Ruthven Todd Album, An Alien World for Dolores Miró: five impressions
A vibrant portfolio of five prints created by Joan Miró, this album showcases his signature surrealist vocabulary of biomorphic shapes, bold colors, and whimsical symbols dancing across the page. The collection combines etching and aquatint techniques with hand-applied gouache and pochoir, demonstrating Miró's playful interplay between printmaking and direct artistic intervention. Dedicated to Dolores Miró, the suite evokes an otherworldly realm filled with the artist's characteristic cast of fantastical creatures and celestial forms.
- Medium
- Five works, including four etching and aquatints in colors (one with hand additions in white and black gouache), and a pochoir with hand-coloring in yellow and purple, on Rives BFK and wove paper, with full margins.
