About the Publication: Miro Recent Paintings was published in 1953 by the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York to coincide with an important exhibition celebrating Joan Miros sixtieth anniversary. As one of the most influential gallerists of the twentieth century and the son of Henri Matisse, Pierre Matisse played a pivotal role in introducing European modernism to American audiences. This commemorative album served both as an exhibition document and as a fine-art publication, printed by the renowned Mourlot Freres in Paris, the leading atelier for color lithography during the modernist era. Known for collaborating with major figures such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Henri Matisse, Mourlot brought exceptional technical refinement to Miros lithographs, capturing the spontaneity, gestural movement, and chromatic vibrancy characteristic of his mature period. The albums intricate production included multiple paper types and edition distinctions, with a principal run on velin and a deluxe edition on velin dArches that featured an original signed lithograph. As a historical artifact, Miro Recent Paintings reflects both the international reach of Miros career and the essential role of transatlantic collaboration in shaping the midcentury art world. Today, this album remains an important and collectible example of postwar fine-art publishing, representing the enduring partnership between Miro, Pierre Matisse, and the master printers of Mourlot Freres.

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 dArt 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 23,561,250 GBP (approximately 37 million USD) at Sothebys, London, on June 19, 2012.
