Aquatint and carborundum. Editor: Maeght. Published in 'Miró graveur II (1961-1973)', Daniel Lelong éditeur, completed printing in 1989, page 174, work no. 529
'Archipel Sauvage III' by Joan Miró is an aquatint from 1970, measuring 75 × 105.5 cm, and bears the artist's pencil signature in the lower right margin. A warm core of burnt orange and ochre radiates outward into a dark, granular grey field — a chromatic structure characteristic of Miró's late printmaking, where aquatint's acid-bitten tones allowed him to achieve the atmospheric, nebula-like surfaces impossible in painting. Scattered across this ground are irregular white and yellow blots, a circled green orb, and two looping black lines that cut through the composition with the same calligraphic economy seen in his post-1960s graphic series. Produced during a highly prolific period at the Barcelona atelier, the work channels the 'poetic imaginary' Miró consistently pursued — grounding Surrealist fantasy in a disciplined, craft-conscious printmaking practice.
