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.”

- Mask Face Personage. Lithograph.By Karel AppelLocated in CORAL GABLES - MIAMI, FLMask Face Personage is an original limited edition lithograph by Dutch artist Karel Appel, printed using hand lithography techniques on 100% acid-free Arches archival paper.

Karel Appel (born April 25, 1921 in Amsterdam, Netherlands; died May 3, 2006 in Zurich, Switzerland), Karel Appel is one of the founders of the CoBrA avant-garde art movement active from the late 1940s to the early 1950s. His paintings are known for incorporating applications of vibrant and violent colors that often possess a primal, childlike quality. . Appel attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam (1940-1943) and helped found the "Reflex" group, which became known as CoBRA (for Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam), in 1948. He moved to Paris in 1950 and by the 1960s he had settled in New York City; later it was seen in Italy and Switzerland. In part as a reaction against what they perceived as the sterile academicism of the de Stijl movement, CoBRA artists assimilated a variety of more impulsive influences, including folk art, children's art, and Jean's l'art brut ("crude art...Category

- HARTUNG - original abstract lithograph- Limited editionsigned paintingBy Hans HartungLocated in CORAL GABLES - MIAMI, FLHARTUNG - original abstract lithograph- Limited editionsigned painting Hans Hartung is commonly presented as a standard-bearer for the "Ecole de Paris" and the "lyrical abstraction" and primarily considered as a post-war painter. Nevertheless, in the late 30s, the German born artist has already participated in numerous exhibitions throughout Europe. His career really began in 1922: aged just eighteen, even he doesn’t know the theories of Kandinsky, he produces a series of abstract watercolors striking by their sheer expressiveness. This is the beginning of a career that lasted nearly seventy years and was punctuated by constant technical innovations. Paradoxical artist, Hartung will often be at the opposite of the image the critics build of him, resulting in a "distorted reception" (Annie Claustres). Presented as a champion of a gestural, lyrical and emotional painting...Category
