In 1971, Miró was heavily focused on the "automatic" process—allowing his hand to move freely across the stone to create organic, dreamlike shapes. Aufrecht Figur is a classic example of his late-career style:
Visual Language: It features his signature "personnage" (character), composed of thick black calligraphic lines and bold primary colors.
Symbolism: Miró often used the standing figure to represent a connection between the earth and the sky, a common theme in his Catalan-inspired surrealism.
Exhibition History: This specific lithograph was frequently used as a poster for the Agora Exhibition in Strasbourg (1971), presented by the Galerie Maeght.
