 Work Description

This lithograph is taken from the spread of Yvan Goll's book "Fleurs de Rêve pour Neila" (Dream Flowers for Neila). In this lithograph, Joan Miró depicts a harmonious space with a subtle combination of curves, geometric shapes, and several circles. Four circles are prominent. The yellow circle on the left is the moon, the large red circle next to it resembles a solar flare, representing a world of light and color, while the right half is a contrasting combination of black lines and patterns. It draws the viewer into the artist's dream world of painting.
