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.

  • French Abstract Surrealist Color Lithograph Andre Masson
    By André Masson
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Published Benincasa Carmine. Edizioni SEAT, Torino, Italy. Offset directly from the original plates. Limited edition. This is not hand signed or numbered. Signature in the printing plate. Size is of the full sheet. André-Aimé-René Masson (4 January 1896 – 28 October 1987) was a French artist. Masson was born in Balagny-sur-Thérain, Oise, but when he was eight his father's work took the family first briefly to Lille and then to Brussels. He began his study of art at the age of eleven at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, under the guidance of Constant Montald, and later he studied in Paris. He fought for France during World War I and was seriously injured. His early works display an interest in cubism. He later became associated with surrealism, and he was one of the most enthusiastic employers of automatic drawing, making a number of automatic works in pen and ink. Masson would often force himself to work under strict conditions, for example, after long periods of time without food or sleep, or under the influence of drugs. He believed forcing himself into a reduced state of consciousness would help his art be free from rational control, and hence get closer to the workings of his subconscious mind. Masson experimented with altered states of consciousness with artists such as Antonin Artaud, Michel Leiris, Joan Miro, Georges Bataille, Jean Dubuffet, and Georges Malkine, who were neighbors of his studio in Paris. From around 1926 he experimented by throwing sand and glue onto canvas and making oil paintings based around the shapes that formed. By the end of the 1920s, however, he was finding automatic drawing rather restricting, and he left the surrealist movement and turned instead to a more structured style, often producing works with a violent or erotic theme, and making a number of paintings in reaction to the Spanish Civil War (he associated once more with the surrealists at the end of the 1930s). Under the German occupation of France during World War II, his work was condemned by the Nazis as degenerate. With the assistance of Varian Fry in Marseille, Masson escaped the Nazi regime on a ship to the French island of Martinique from where he went on to the United States. Upon arrival in New York City, U.S. customs officials inspecting Masson's luggage found a cache of his erotic drawings. Denouncing them as pornographic, they ripped them up before the artist's eyes. Living in New Preston, Connecticut his work became an important influence on American abstract expressionists, In particular Arshile Gorky drew on it, as did Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Following the war, he returned to France and settled in Aix-en-Provence where he painted a number of landscapes. Masson drew the cover of the first issue of Georges Bataille's review, Acéphale, in 1936, and participated in all its issues until 1939. His brother-in-law, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan...
