Untitled, Plate 3 (from Ubu aux Baléares) by Joan Miró is a remarkable work from the artist’s iconic series, created in 1971. Miró, known for his playful and surrealist visual language, produced this piece as part of a broader exploration of absurdity, political satire, and the subconscious. The Ubu aux Baléares series is inspired by Alfred Jarry’s character Ubu, a figure of grotesque authority and chaos, which Miró translated into a whimsical yet profound visual narrative.
In Untitled, Plate 3, Miró’s characteristic abstract shapes, fluid lines, and vibrant colors converge in a dynamic composition that feels both spontaneous and deeply intentional. The work, like much of his oeuvre, challenges conventional forms of representation and evokes a dreamlike world where reality and imagination coexist. This piece reflects Miró’s continued engagement with the avant-garde movements of the 20th century, particularly surrealism, and his ability to infuse political commentary with a sense of lightness and humor.
Miró’s work during this period was highly influenced by the political unrest of the time, especially in Spain, where Franco’s dictatorship cast a shadow over artistic expression. Through the playful chaos of Ubu aux Baléares, Miró subtly critiques authoritarianism, making this series a poignant example of how modern art can serve as both a cultural reflection and a form of resistance.
This museum-quality work offers a glimpse into Miró’s imaginative world, blending abstraction with cultural and political themes, making it an essential piece for those interested in surrealism and modern art history.
