FEMME (SCULPTURE)

 

The figure, which follows the guideline of the symbolic universe of the artist in spite of forming a part of last epoch, possesses a conical form where it appreciates in the top part two small appendices curled instead of arms. Also the prominent buttocks, a concavity stand out with form of seed in his abdomen, an out-standing court at a height of the breastbone and a lunar scar in the right side of the face.

The work was realized by the versatile artist Joan Miro in the Smelting Parellada in 1981 and offered to the Town hall of his city in 1983, little before his death. For that one at the time, the mayor Narcís Serra already had started transforming the Foyer of the House of the City of Barcelona into a museum of art opened the public who throughout the years would be extended by numerous works of out-standing artists.
