Joan Miró’s 'Le Bleu de la Cible (The Blue Target)' exemplifies the artist’s late-career engagement with pure colour and symbolic form. Dominated by a luminous field of blue, the work reflects Miró’s longstanding fascination with the expressive and poetic potential of chromatic intensity. The motif of the target, recurring throughout his oeuvre, embodies both a point of focus and a metaphor for transcendence, suggesting a passage between material presence and imaginative space. Executed with the economy and assurance characteristic of his mature style, the composition distills Miró’s lifelong pursuit of a universal visual language that balances playfulness with profound lyricism. Within the artist’s broader body of work, 'Le Bleu de la Cible' marks an important moment in which abstraction, symbolism, and colour coalesce to affirm Miró’s enduring place at the forefront of twentieth-century modernism.
