Series Context
The entire Ubu aux Baléares series consists of twenty-three lithographs, inspired by the absurdist plays of 19th-century French playwright Alfred Jarry, specifically his character "Ubu Roi" (King Ubu). Miró reimagined this grotesque and comical character's world with his signature playful, abstract, and calligraphic style, using biomorphic forms and bold lines to create what some critics have likened to modern cave paintings or spontaneous graffiti. |
