Previous ownership information was conveyed verbally by the consignor. Visual Description: A playful Surrealist-inspired composition of two large biomorphic figures built from curving black lines and filled with segments of red, yellow, blue, green, and magenta against a cream ground. The figure at the left is a rounded form with a yellow spiral at its center, topped by small eyes on stalks and slender spiked antennae. At the right, a figure made of a striped circular body rises toward a bird-like head with a single eye and a fringe of black lashes. Black stars, dots, and hair-like strokes float across the surface, while soft spattered patches of magenta, blue, green, and yellow animate the background. Rendered in the Surrealist style of Joan Miró, the work emphasizes biomorphic fantasy, primary color, and poetic symbolism, recalling the artist’s celebrated personages, birds, and stars. This composition reflects stylistic elements commonly associated with major figures in modern and contemporary art.
