In a 1974 interview, Joan Miró stated:

"You want to know if I am interested in comic strips? Certainly. And first of all in strips as strips, very long strips, like scrolls. There is a scroll of this kind in Zurich, for example. And I also did a very large strip on silk for Lyon. These scrolls allow you to follow a formal rhythm." (from Yvon Taillandier, "Miró: Now I Work on the Floor" in Joan Miró: Selected Writings and Interviews, ed. Margit Rowell. Boston, 1986: 283–284.)
