Ubu the King 2 – Joan Miró
Ubu the King 2 is a 1966 painting by Joan Miró: blue and red figures with black loops on a light green ground. We paint our hand-painted study of Ubu the King 2 to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 50 × 30 cm to 180 × 120 cm or in a custom size. Before Ubu the King 2 is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Ubu the King 2 show?
In Ubu the King 2 large blue and red shapes spread across a light green field, a blue head with a pointed nose and a red beak on the left and a round red figure with a yellow eye on the right, with thin black lines, stars and small signs winding between them. Miró painted the comic King Ubu from Jarry’s play as a cheerful tangle of colours and lines, which is why Ubu the King 2 feels playful, fresh and light.
How is our hand-painted study of Ubu the King 2 made?
Our painters paint the study of Ubu the King 2 by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Ubu the King 2 has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Ubu the King 2 is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
