Composition VIII - Lithograph by Joan Mirò - 1974

1974

About the Item

Composition VIII is a wonderful color lithograph on paper, realized in 1974 by the Spanish master Joan Miro for the second volume of his catalog "Mirò Lithographe". This plate is from a series composed by an original lithograph for the cover and other eleven original lithographs, two additional lithographs are reserved for the deluxe edition with an edition of 150 specimens. Reference: Mirò Lithographe III, Maeght Editeur, Paris, pag. 31. In good conditions, except for some visible stains on the higher margin at the center and a medial vertical fold of the paper at the center of the sheet. While Joan Miró (1893-1983) rejected any formal association with movements or groups, including the Surrealists, André Breton recognized him as “the most Surrealist of us all”. His artistic approach encouraged the free play of associations, and envisaged “accidents” to provoke reactions closely connected to subconscious experiences. Miró’s famous motifs consist of freely reshaped fragments cut from catalogs for machinery on canvases to form black silhouettes – solid or in outline, with dramatic accents of white and red.
