Le Chanteur d’opéra
(1977)
Joan Miró
Spain (1893-1983)
About the Artwork
Le Chanteur d’opéra is a striking example of Joan Miró’s sculptural language, where whimsy meets monumentality. Cast using the lost wax technique at Fundició Parellada in Barcelona, the bronze composition embodies the Catalan artist’s fascination with form, music, and motion. The work transforms the human figure into a totemic presence, abstract yet expressive, mirroring Miró’s lifelong commitment to poetic reduction. Part of a limited edition of six, this particular cast is numbered 5/6 and bears the artist’s signature, confirming its authenticity through the Association pour la Défense de l’œuvre de Joan Miró (ADOM). Both playful and enigmatic, Le Chanteur d’opéra captures the spirit of performance and invention that defined Miró’s late period.
