In Dans la rivière basse, or “In the Low River,” Miró closes the Haï-Ku sequence with an image that suggests nature, movement, and quiet depth. The title evokes a shallow river, perhaps calm, reduced, or exposed. Miró’s connection with poetry is essential to understanding this work: he was interested not in illustration, but in the ability of simple images to awaken associations. His lithographs from this period often combine vivid color, open space, and biomorphic forms, creating compositions that feel spontaneous yet carefully balanced. This print functions like a visual haiku, using few elements to suggest a broader emotional landscape of water, stillness, and transition.
