about La Taupe Hilare

The Spanish Modern and Surrealist artist Joan Miro was one of the great masters of the 20th century.

His bold linework and childlike technique set him apart from his contemporaries and his predecessors, although his style was often maligned by critics in his early years. This signed etching was created in 1975, towards the end of the artist’s life and depicts, as indicated by the title, a laughing mole. As is often the case with Miro’s work, the linework borders just enough on the edge of abstraction that only the title can pull the image into focus. This excellent print is signed and numbered in pencil. It was printed by Morsang and published by Maeght, both in Paris. It is referenced in Dupin as number 753. From the estate of Shepard Kogan.

About The Medium: Aquatint

An etching process in which tone is created by treating a plate with fine particles of acid resistant material (like powder resin) and then placing the plate in an acid bath. The acid bites into the plate between the grains of resin and when printed, the mass of tiny spots produces a textured area with tonal effects similar to watercolor wash.
