About the Item

Joan Miro (1893 Barcelona - 1983 Palma), Color lithograph for Derrière le Miroir no. 203 I, 1973. Printed by Arte Adrien Maeght and published by Maeght Editeur, Paris, 38 cm x 56 cm. - crease in the center, small tear at the lower crease, minimally bumped - Real Imagination - A creature that seems to oscillate between bird and fish appears to be devouring another creature. Both "animals" are connected by the yellow background. Although a particular action is depicted, no story is told. Instead, viewers are given as much freedom as possible to make their own associations. This imaginative potential lends lyrical intensity to the magical yet strange world, the energy of which is expressed through color. About the artist Joan Miró is considered one of the most important figures of the avant-garde and Surrealism. His style is characterized by a combination of abstract forms, vivid colors, and surrealistic motifs that are often reminiscent of children's drawings or folk art. Born in Barcelona to a goldsmith, Miró initially pursued a career in commerce. Initially, he completed a commercial apprenticeship before devoting himself entirely to painting. In 1912, he began studying at the Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi in Barcelona. His early works show influences of Cubism, Fauvism, and Expressionism. In 1920, he moved to Paris, where he joined the Surrealist movement and collaborated with artists such as Picasso and Max Ernst. His Surrealist pieces, including Carnival of Harlequin, became significant contributions to the movement. He also designed sets for the Russian Ballet and created numerous graphic works. His work is exhibited in renowned museums around the world, including the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and the Tate Modern in London. In 1956, Miró relocated his primary residence to Palma de Mallorca, where he lived until his death. He remained artistically active into old age, creating numerous works until his death. GERMAN VERSION Joan Miro (1893 Barcelona - 1983 Palma), Farblithographie für Derrière le Miroir Nr. 203, 1973. Gedruckt von Arte Adrien Maeght und veröffentlicht von Maeght Editeur, Paris, 38 cm x 56 cm. - mittige Knickspur, minimaler Einriss an der unteren Knickspur, leicht bestoßen - Reale Imagination - Ein zwischen Vogel und Fisch changierendes Wesen scheint sich ein anderes Wesen einzuverleiben, wobei beide ‚Tiere‘ durch den gelben Hintergrund miteinander verbunden sind. Auch wenn eine gewisse Handlung evoziert wird, wird doch keine Bildgeschichte erzählt. Vielmehr soll den Assoziationen ein möglichst großer Freiraum gegeben werden. Das Imaginationspotenzial verleiht der magisch-zauberhaften und doch fremden Welt eine lyrische Intensität, deren Energie in den Farben freigesetzt wird. zum Künstler Joan Miró gilt als eine der wichtigsten Figuren der Avantgarde und des Surrealismus. Sein Stil zeichnet sich durch eine Kombination aus abstrakten Formen, lebendigen Farben und surrealistischen Motiven aus, die oft an Kinderzeichnungen oder Volkskunst erinnern. Miró wurde als Sohn eines Goldschmiedes in Barcelona geboren. Er absolvierte zunächst eine kaufmännische Ausbildung, bevor er sich ganz der Malerei widmete. 1912 begann er ein Studium an der Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi i Barcelona. Seine frühen Arbeiten zeigen Einflüsse des Kubismus, Fauvismus und Expressionismus. 1920 zog Miró nach Paris, wo er sich der surrealistischen Bewegung anschloss und mit Künstlern wie Picasso und Max Ernst zusammenarbeitete. Seine surrealistischen Werke, wie beispielsweise "Karneval des Harlekins", wurden zu bedeutenden Werken der Bewegung. Er arbeitete auch an Bühnenbildern für das Russische Ballett und schuf zahlreiche Grafiken. Seine Werke sind in renommierten Museen auf der ganzen Welt ausgestellt, darunter die Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, das MoMA in New York und die Tate Modern in London. 1956 verlegte Miró seinen Hauptwohnsitz nach Palma de Mallorca, wo er bis zu seinem Tod lebte. Er war bis ins hohe Alter künstlerisch tätig und schuf bis zu seinem Tod zahlreiche Werke.
