Miró is one of those very few artists who mastered everything he tried–

painting, murals, printmaking, costume design, poetry, sculpture and

ceramics. Apart from his compatriot Picasso, no other artist in the twentieth

century has shown such versatility and invention across so wide a range of

media. In order to realize his creative vision exactly, Miró made sure he was

involved in every aspect of his sculpture's production. He worked closely with

the foundries and distinguished different forms of patina between each of the

firms he used. Personnage was cast by the lost-wax process at Fonderia

Artistica Bonvicini in Verona. It is one of seven casts that is signed and justified

by the artist, and it is the second of four numbered examples from that

edition. Another cast of Personnage is in collection of the Louisiana Museum

of Modern Art at Humlebaek in Denmark.
