The mural forming part of the Maeght Foundation Maze was the first they were able to put together in what they called the "hangar", built in 1968 next to the kilns in Gallifa, precisely so as to be able to work on future murals with greater ease. It measures 12 metres by three and the colour is more subdued than in the other murals. Here, in the Maze, where a large part of their production is definitively gathered, we find that there is no hierarchy of any kind amongst the variously shaped and sized works. This is the natural result of Miró's understanding of the world: the mountain is not bigger than the grain of sand, nor man superior to the ant. The elements in the mural are not aggressive; there is a figure with bulging eyes like an insect's, and with long antennae, and then, like other eyes scattered here and there, unattached, the eyes of the mural, which look out at the visitor to the Maze with a certain indifference, not in the least menacingly.
