Je Travaile Comme Un Jardinier
Fine Art by Miro original 1975 color lithograph by the renowned Spanish artist Joan Miró. This specific piece is part of a series titled "Maravillas con Variaciones Acrósticas en El Jardín de Miró" (Wonders with Acrostic Variations in Miró’s Garden).
Details of the Artwork

Artist: Joan Miró (1893–1983).
Medium: Lithograph on paper.
Series History: This work was created to illustrate a book of the same title by the Spanish poet Rafael Alberti. The series consists of 20 lithographs.
Identification: This particular image is often identified as Plate 1 or Number 3 in the series. It features Miró's signature "in the plate" (printed, not hand-signed) in the lower right corner.
Edition: There were approximately 1,500 unnumbered lithographs produced in this specific edition on white wove Guarro paper.

Artistic Context
The composition is a classic example of Miró's mature style, blending Surrealist fantasy with abstract forms. It utilizes his characteristic bold primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—against stark black lines and washes. The series as a whole is celebrated for its sense of "controlled chaos" and playful balance.
