Lithograph and aquatint

The riddled angel vaguely evokes the iconography of angels in the Western tradition. Historically, these beings were represented according to their rank in the celestial hierarchy; for example, seraphim were reduced to a head crowned with wings. By simplifying the body to the extreme and altering the figure with splashes of ink, Joan Miró alludes to and subverts this artistic heritage.

Stripped of any explicit sacred dimension, the winged figure becomes an unstable, almost fragmentary sign. It no longer refers to a structured cosmic order, but to an uncertain presence. This evolution bears witness to the transition from a codified iconography to a free visual language.
