About the Item
Rhythmic serenity emanates from this delightful work. Miro creates a quirky yet sophisticated pattern of decorative and playful spots, irregular yet repetitive like a Dalmatian's coat. A motif made from small bold dots, painterly gestures, and frail suggestions of stars energize the work with its rich variety. Refreshing splashes of color emerge without overpowering the composition that provide visual interest and further a feeling of natural easiness. This subdued work is fine example of the softer side of Miro that is elegantly refined while remaining characteristically lighthearted.
Created in 1961, this color lithograph BFK Rives wove paper is hand-signed by Joan Miro (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983) in pencil in the lower right. Printed and published by Maeght , Paris, this work is numbered from the edition of 75 in pencil in the lower left. Aside from an edition of 15 artist's proofs.

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.”

- L'efant aux biscuit (Child with Cookie)By Pierre-Auguste RenoirLocated in Palo Alto, CAAn intimate portrait of his second son, Jean Renoir (1894 – 1979), evokes a childlike sentiment and love that Renoir had for his children. Most likely no more than age 3, Jean is shown here with a cookie, beneath a frilly bonnet characteristic of late 19th century French society. His pink, rosy cheeks are defined with rich, glowing hues that contrast from the pale yellow and grey background in which he rests. Jean was also featured in a family portrait of the Renoirs, titled La Famille de l’Artiste (1896).
