About the Item

Joan Miro, Spanish (1893–1983) Vintage lithograph poster from Arte Paris for a Marlborough Gallery show in London, England Signed in the plate Recent Paintings 1945-1963 Exhibition Date: 1966 Size: 29.25 in. x 19.75 inches Publisher: Arte Adrien Maeght Reference: Miro, Lithographs III, Maeght Publisher Joan Miro Catalan Surrealist. Born in Barcelona, Spain in 1893, He mixed popular, vanguard, and folk art forms, splicing together previously unattached traditions. He went to art school in Barcelona where he was introduced to French Romantic and social Realist art, and then Impressionism and Post Impressionism. He was influenced by artists such as Cezanne, Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso. From Matisse he learned how large areas of color and pattern could flatten and control his picture plane. From Picasso he gained a feel for cubism. Son of a jewelry maker, Miro quickly revealed his love of painting, Before he went to Paris for the first time (1919), he had already met Francis Picabia, and had read a great deal of French poetry and avant garde magazines. In 1920, he decided to settle in the French capital, Paris, where het met Pablo Picasso, Maurice Raynal, Reverdy, Tristan Tzara and Max Jacob. Around 1923, after having painted La Masia (1921. 1922), which was the culmination of his period of detailed realism, he changed the way he painted, turning to surrealism and beginning, as of 1924, a strong friendship with Andre Breton, Louis Aragon and Paul Eluard. In 1926, he worked for the first time in the world of the theater and dance, creating with Max Ernst the scenography of Romeo and Juliette for the Russian Ballet. Other work followed, such as Jeux d ́enfants (1932) and Mori el Merma (1978). In 1930, he began to enjoy international recognition, which had started with the success of his 1925 exhibition in Paris, with the first showings of his work in the United States and Brussels. These were followed by his remarkable retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (1941 and 1952), Brasilea (1952), Los Angeles (1959). Influenced by the impact of the Spanish and European wars, he did the series of paintings called Constellations, which meant a step forward in his constant broaching of new pictorial problems, as well as the beginning of a new, freer and more personal period. In 1947, he spent eight months in the United States. arches This was an important milestone in that it meant a definitive turn towards large format work, as evidenced by his mural at the Terrace Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati. He would later paint, among others, the mural at Harvard University (1951). Joan Miro ́s great creativity led him to work in and investigate fields of such diversity as signed etchings, hand thrown ceramics always at the side of Llorens Artigas sculpture and aubusson tapestry. Jean Miro won a number of prestigious prizes including First Prize from the Guggenheim Foundation in 1954 and the Carnegie Prize for Painting in 1967. One may view examples of Miro's works in the world's most prominent gallery museums, including: the Musee d'Art Moderne, France; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Hermitage in St. Petersburg, U.S.S.R; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut; the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, and many more. Miro was one of the greatest talents of Surrealism (along with Salvador Dali and Magritte) and a master of twentieth century painting. Miró died in Majorca, Spain, on December 25, 1983.

He produced many lithographs and numerous murals, tapestries, and sculptures for public spaces. In the 1920s, Miró combined detailed figures with abstract landscapes and began taking objects out from their natural contexts to reassemble them in a new mysterious way. In the 1930s, during the Spanish Civil War, he moved to France. During World War II, he returned to Spain, where he began painting the famous Constellations (1941). At the end of the 1940s, Miró traveled back and forth between Spain and France and created some of his most spontaneous artworks. After World War II, he became famous internationall...
