Based after the painting "Personnage et Ouiseau" (1969), is one of Joan Miró's largest works in the United States and his only glass mosaic mural. It was created between 1972 and 1978. Miró created it for Wichita State University's Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art, in Wichita, Kansas. The mural is one of Miró's largest two-dimensional projects, undertaken when he was 79 and completed when he was 85 years of age. Fabrication of the mural was completed in 1977, but Miró did not consider it finished until the installation was complete.
Miró was a world-renowned Spanish Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramist. He combined abstract art with surrealist fantasy. His mature style evolved from the tension between his fanciful, poetic impulse and his vision of the harshness of modern life. He worked extensively in lithography and produced numerous murals, tapestries, and sculptures for public spaces.
