Joan Miró’s Woman and Bird is located in the Barcelona park dedicated to the Catalan artist. The original title of the work is "Dona-bolet amb barret de lluna" or "Long Woman with Moon Hat". It was inaugurated in 1983, a few months before Miró’s death.
Made of concrete and ceramic, it consists of a large phallic-shaped body that, paradoxically, represents woman, whose sex is defined by a round, black incision.
The counterpoint of this enormous form is at the top, where there is the hat or the bird: a poetic element that gives it lightness and dynamism, since it is outside the axis of symmetry as if it were about to fall.
The work is completed by a sort of fountain at its feet, in which it finds a mirror in which it is reflected.
