inches, full margins. Signed and
numbered 2/30 in pencil, lower margin. Etched at the studio of Louis Marcoussis, Paris.
Printed by Lacourière, Paris. Published by Pierre Matisse, New York. A superb, richly-
inked impression of this extremely scarce, early print.
Created by Miró (1893-1983) a decade and a half after he had moved to Paris from Montroig,
south of Barcelona, and immersed himself in the avant garde artistic trends in the art capital
of Europe, absorbing Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism, and becoming friends with many
progressive artists and authors in the city, this etching ranks among Miró’s strongest
achievements in Surrealist printmaking.The etching likely relates to one of his most important
Surrealist paintings,
The Hunter (Catalan Landscape)
, 1924, now at The Museum of Modern
Art, NewYork. Dupin 29.
