Aquatint and etching in colors with carborundum on paper

Miró used color and form in a symbolic rather than literal manner, his intricate compositions combining abstract elements with recurring motifs like birds, eyes, and the moon.

In 1975, Joan and Miquel Gaspar published a book containing Miro engravings and etchings accompanied by poems by the Catalan poet Salvador Espriu.
