About the Item

This exquisite lithograph and pochoir after Joan Miro (1893–1983), titled Cartones (Cardboards), from the album Miro, Cartones 1959–1965 (Miro, Cardboards 1959–1965), originates from the 1965 edition published by Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York, rendered by Daniel Jacomet, Paris, and printed by Daniel Jacomet et Cie, Paris, 1965. Cartones embodies Miro’s fascination with material texture and gestural freedom, translating the spontaneity of his painted cardboard works into a refined harmony of form, color, and rhythm. The composition captures the spirit of improvisation and playful abstraction that defined Miro’s exploration of new materials and techniques during the 1960s. Executed as a lithograph and pochoir on velin d’Arches paper, this work measures 8.687 x 12.375 inches. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Daniel Jacomet et Cie, Paris, one of France’s foremost studios specializing in pochoir and fine art printmaking.

Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the album Miro, Cartones 1959–1965 (Miro, Cardboards 1959–1965), published by Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York; rendered by Daniel Jacomet, Paris; printed by Daniel Jacomet et Cie, Paris, 1965 Notes: Excerpted from the album, This album has been printed in Paris on the occasion of the artist's exhibition of "Cartones" at the Pierre Matisse Gallery, 41 East 57th Street, New York, from October 19th to November 13th 1965. The edition has been limited to LXXV examples on "Velin d’Arches a la forme", numbered I to XXV, containing II original lithographs in color, one of which is signed by the artist and MCC examples with one original lithograph numbered I to MCC. The colored pochoirs are by Daniel Jacomet and the typography by Fequet et Baudier. The original lithographs, including the cover, were printed by Fernand Mourlot. About the Publication: Miro, Cartones 1959–1965 (Miro, Cardboards 1959–1965), published in 1965 by Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York, with pochoirs rendered by Daniel Jacomet, Paris, was produced to accompany Miro’s landmark exhibition of the same name. The album captures the artist’s innovative translation of his cardboard paintings—works that exemplify his experimental approach to surface, texture, and gesture—into the refined medium of pochoir and lithography. Printed by Daniel Jacomet et Cie, one of France’s foremost ateliers for color printmaking, and featuring lithographs printed by Fernand Mourlot, the publication exemplifies the exceptional collaboration between Miro, Jacomet, and Matisse. Each page reveals the artist’s fascination with spontaneity, cosmic symbolism, and material interplay, bridging the tactile immediacy of painting and the precision of printmaking. As one of Miro’s most celebrated graphic albums of the 1960s, Cartones 1959–1965 remains a masterful example of the union between experimental modern art and fine art printing. About the Artist: Joan Miro (1893–1983) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose visionary imagination and lyrical abstraction made him one of the most influential and beloved artists of the 20th century. Born in Barcelona, Miro drew inspiration from Catalan folk art, Romanesque frescoes, and the luminous landscapes of Mont-roig del Camp, developing a deep connection to nature that infused his work with vitality and symbolism. After formal training at the Escola d'Art in Barcelona, he absorbed the lessons of Post-Impressionism and Cubism before moving to Paris in the early 1920s, where he became a leading figure in the Surrealist movement. There, Miro forged a personal visual language of biomorphic shapes, floating symbols, and radiant color harmonies that reflected both spontaneity and spiritual depth. In creative dialogue with peers such as Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he helped revolutionize modern art by dissolving the boundaries between abstraction and dream imagery. Miro's inventive approach extended far beyond painting, embracing sculpture, ceramics, and monumental public commissions that redefined how art could interact with space and emotion. His expressive freedom and gestural abstraction profoundly influenced later artists including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Antoni Tapies, and Joan Mitchell, inspiring generations who sought to merge instinct, color, and imagination. Today, Miro's work remains a cornerstone of modernism, prized by collectors and celebrated in major museums worldwide. His highest auction record was achieved by Peinture (Etoile Bleue) (1927), which sold for 23,561,250 GBP (approximately 37 million USD) at Sotheby's, London, on June 19, 2012.
