About the Item

In excellent condition.
Le lézard aux plumes d'or is an original poem by Miró, conceived on the harmonious alternation of verses and colorful images that underlie the magical relationship between man and nature. A first series of 18 lithographed plates dates back to 1967, where the line is lighter and the colors are clear and bright. Later, the Catalan artist and the publisher Louis Broder realized the alteration of colors, caused by a defect in the paper factory, forcing them to abandon the run to make new compositions on Rives paper and mother-of-pearl Japan paper, appearing in 1971 with the same title.
Since 1960, the works of the Catalan artist have been animated with surreal creatures that float in space, bathing in shining light.
The work reproduces the poem in lithographic printing entirely, and includes 15 colored lithographs and 23 pages of text that reproduce the handwriting of Miró: this process maintains a perfect balance between the force of graphism and the visual effect of images, built with thick contour lines.
At the end of 1971, the poem for images was presented at the Berggruen Gallery in Paris and at the Galerie Pierre in Stockholm.

Joan Miró
With his wide-ranging oeuvre, comprising strikingly original paintings, prints, ceramics, sculptures, metal engravings and murals, Catalan modernist Joan Miró was a critical force in moving 20th-century art toward complete abstraction. Although often considered an early Surrealist because of his nonobjective imagery and evocation of the subconscious, he defies neat categorization.
Miró’s identity is largely rooted in the city of his birth: Barcelona. To this day, a number of his public artworks can be found there, including the 72-foot-tall statue Dona i Ocell (Woman and Bird), 1983. Female and avian forms, along with bright colors and the theme of Catalan pride, are recurring elements in his work.
The radical visual world Miró created with his expressive lines, signature symbols and biomorphic shapes influenced such American Abstract Expressionists as Jackson Pollock and Color Field painters like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.
Mirò continued to work and experiment until his death at the age of 90 in 1983. Five years before that, he was quoted saying, “I painted these paintings in a frenzy, with real violence so that people will know that I am alive, that I’m breathing, that I still have a few more places to go. I’m heading in new directions.”
