Blue II

Joan Miró's 'Bleu II' (1961), the second of his 'Three Blues', is a 3.55-metre canvas reduced to a deep ultramarine ground traversed by a line of black dots and a single vertical red bar. Stripping his vocabulary to a handful of signs, Miró pursued what he called the 'poetry of the infinite'. It is a signature late work of the Centre Pompidou's Miró holdings in Paris.
