    I found this in a stack of prints & paintings I have scattered around a house we are trying to empty to ready for rental (my girlfriend stopped counting at 100 paintings, prints & lithos - anything in a frame!). I remember finding this in a storage unit I won at auction (almost every storage unit has paintings - and bicycles - and is where most of mine have come from) last year, but then I forgot about it after something else was put in front of it.
    I love Miro's work(!) but this is... so plain?... that I am wondering if it is a print/litho for decor or something else - there is something about a Joan Miro foundation at bottom of it.
    Googling it shows this from the Met Museum:

    Only three elements float on the empty white canvas: the word "Photo," the patch of blue, and the phrase "ceci est la couleur de mes rêves" (this is the color of my dreams). The black letters sit on barely visible pencil lines that serve as guides for their size, as in a child's writing primer

    So is this a work of art? Or something for her foundation in 1995?
    Sorry if I sound stupid & thanks for any help/info!

    I love Miro's work.
    This is a print, the original is an oil painting. "Oli damunt tela" is Catalan for oil on canvas.
    Joan is a Catalan man's name by the way, like the French Jean, and Spanish Juan.;)

    I love her work too, but I'm wondering who would hang this up? Guess I'll post it on eBay and see

    She is a he.:)
    His work is quite popular, I think many young people would love to have it for the right price.

    Yours is a poster issued by his foundation in 1995. Value is decorative and cost of shipping might be discouraging to a potential buyer.

    If journey still has it, it is best to send him a private message through the inbox at the top right hand side of the page.

    And I had 40 seconds of profound embarrassment thinking, gee, and I always thought Miro was a man.

    In crime series they would say, "we found the body of a 90 year old male" etc. In English crime series that would be "Guv, we found the body of a 90 year old male".:D
