Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This exhibition, organized at the Palais des Papes in Avignon, presents the sum of fifty years of work in the service of art and artists.

About the Publication:
XXXIIe Festival d'Avignon, Cinquante Annees de Lithographie au Palais des Papes (32nd Avignon Festival: Fifty Years of Lithography at the Palais des Papes) is a significant 1978 commemorative album honoring half a century of lithographic mastery led by Fernand Mourlot, whose atelier defined modern lithography and collaborated with the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Produced in conjunction with a major exhibition at the historic Palais des Papes in Avignon, the publication brings together original lithographs and tribute works celebrating Mourlot’s legacy and his transformative role in the revival of fine art lithography. Mourlot’s collaborations spanned generations of leading artists, including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, and Fernand Leger, each of whom relied on the ateliers unrivaled technical expertise and artistic sensitivity. The album documents the evolution of fine art printing in France, highlighting the ateliers contribution to museum-quality editions, artist books, and exhibition-related publications. As both a historical record and a fine art object, the album embodies the philosophy that defined Mourlot’s life’s work: that lithography is a craft of precision, tradition, and artistic partnership. Produced by Mourlot Freres with exceptional technical standard, the album remains an essential document in the history of printmaking and a tribute to one of its greatest champions.
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. Miros 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, Miros 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 23561250 GBP (approximately 37 million USD) at Sotheby's, London, on June 19, 2012.
