«Before this [the Osaka mural] they had also worked on a large mural, the biggest of all, for the facade of Barcelona airport. Because of its size, 50 metres by ten, it took a long time, alrnost two years, to complete. No less than 464 firings were needed to make the 4,865 pieces it contains. Unlike the Osaka mural, the composition is simple, with large, clean shapes, and al1 of Miró's colours distributed in large areas. On this occasion Miró and the Artigas father and son team had the further collaboration of Michel Murao.» (Corredor-Matheos)
