L'Alouette.
Stock Code 103812
Paris, GLM, 1954
£15,000
One of 30 copies with original handcolouring by Miro. This example has extensive additions, with a blue background to the text, the artist's fingerprints in red and black, ink line drawings to the lithograph, as well as brightly coloured dots to the justification. The artist decorated the thirty examples with different illustrations, making them each unique but retained some similar elements such as the red dots and line drawings. René Char and Joan Miro had met during the Surrealist period, but their friendship dated from the post-war years when Miro returned to France. L'Alouette is their third collaborative work.
