This striking poster was produced by Joan Miró for the presentation of the ballet "Lucifer" by the Martha Graham Dance Company, performed at the Uris Theater in New York in June 1975. Published by Galerie Maeght in Paris, this poster is a testament to Miró's ability to blend visual art with the performing arts, creating a dynamic and captivating promotional piece.

The poster for "Lucifer" captures the essence of the ballet's themes, which revolve around the struggle between light and darkness, good and evil. Miró's abstract depiction can be seen as a visual interpretation of these universal themes, using his unique style to convey a sense of conflict and resolution. The abstract forms and vivid colors evoke the emotional intensity of the dance, while the playful elements hint at the complexity and nuance of the performance.
