The title, Ursule Hisse les Cornes de la Biche, loosely translates to “Ursula raises the horns of the deer.” The fervent energy emitted from this piece, along with Miro’s inclusion of the title in the lithograph, builds suspense, as Miro invites us to question, who is Ursula, and what did she mean to Miro? Created in 1975, this work has a guaranteed authentic signature by Miro in pencil in the lower right hand side of the work. It is numbered 22/75. Ursule Hisse les Cornes de la Biche was published by Editions Georges Fall, Paris, and printed on Velin d’ Arches by Arte Adrien Maeght, Paris. A strange and unearthly creature emerges from a chaotic sea of wild text and color. Upon initial glance, the text, which is actually the title of the piece, appears more like strange primal symbols, rather than a discernable French inscription. This mythical black creature erupts from the page, as if liberated from a long unsettling quiet. The large scale makes the detailing and creative “hand” of the artist visible—adding to the enjoyment of this piece. Miro scholar Joseph Young describes Miro’s biomorphic figures as subjects who “Have been transformed by the artist into an imaginative world where the difference between real and hallucinatory is obscured and where geometric no less than biomorphic forms seem imbued with a life and will of their own.” (Taillandier) Catalogue Raisonné & COA:It is fully documented and referenced in the below catalogue raisonnés and texts (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the final sale of the work) : 1) Cramer, Patrick.
