About the Item
Joan Miró Terres de grand feu, 1956 was created to celebrate a three-month exhibition at the Galerie Maeght, Paris, of ceramics done by Miró and Llorens Artigas in the Gallifa studio between 1950 and 1956. Translating roughly to "land of great fire", the title of this print evokes the ceramic medium and the hot belly of the kiln that produces it. Even the three white spaces housed within the colorful structure filling the image seem to evoke the layers within a kiln. The artist's ability to interrelate subject matter and abstracted representation reflect his mastery of modern graphic art. Combining signs and symbols, Miró creates an attractive, attention-grabbing image that encapsulates all a poster should be. Nils Tryding & Sune Nordgren write, "Miró created many of his really large posters to be placed amid the teeming life of the great city where they could be seen and appreciated even in the densest traffic" (Joan Miró: posters, affischer, 4). Miró communicates with the viewer through direct images that speak for themselves, and loudly.
Created in 1956, this avant la lettre color lithograph was printed on Arches paper by Mourlot and published by Maeght, Paris. Numbered 71 from the edition of 200 in pencil in the lower left corner, it is hand-signed by the artist in the lower right.

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.”

Then Came a Stick and Beat the Dog, 1984
By Frank Stella
Located in Palo Alto, CA
Then Came a Stick and Beat the Dog, 1984 is a stellar example of his use of incredibly bright colors and a plethora of irregular shapes. The first thing you notice about this piece besides its colossal size is the color palette. The colors are highly saturated and vibrant; they carry a certain narrative, heavy quality that speaks to you. To name a few, Stella uses electrifying colors of magenta, pink, silver, brown, green, lavender, and aquamarine. These hues dazzle in plain sight but also accentuate the disorderly shapes of cones and cylinders. The outlines of these forms spill over the edge of the paper while the magical swirls of lines occupy your vision. The diversity in texture and layering of color on top of each other heightens the sense of mass and weight incorporated into this work.
The rhythmic lines and experimental quality of irregular shapes compose a kind of poetic allure. Inspired by gouaches done by the Russian avant-garde artist, El Lissitsky, Stella takes on a fresh new rendition. El Lissitzky’s works that Stella had seen in Tel Aviv were based on a song called “Had Gadya.” Stella designated titles for each variant in the series that becomes very much a part of his style as an artist. This piece is an example that highlights Stella as an artist who fuses inspiration from his well-traveled life into an aesthetically and culturally pleasing work of art. In all of this work’s interwoven structures, layered colors, and historic background, lies the mastery of Frank Stella, as a distinct artist in his ability to combine a vast array of elements.
Created in 1984, Then Came a Stick and Beat the Dog, 1984 from Illustrations After El Lissitzky's Had Gadya is a hand-coloring and collage with lithograph, linocut, and silkscreen on T. H. Saunders paper (background) and shaped, hand-cut Somerset paper (collage). Hand-signed and dated by Frank Stella (Massachusetts, 1936 - ) in pencil in the lower left: ‘F. Stella ‘84’, this work is numbered from the edition of 60 in pencil in the left; published by Waddington Graphics, London.
