Description:

As Tomàs Llorens recently pointed out, in most of the pictures Miró painted between 1944 and 1955 we find a figurative vocabulary derived from Les Constellations. That series of twenty-three gouaches on paper feature a motley array of shapes, stars and circles, as if a magical constellation of the cosmos, served the painter as a sort of exorcism or escapism from the horrors of war. The Lightning Bird Blinded by Moonfire, executed in 1955, is one of the paintings that are often associated with this series.
