About the Item
The 1959 original engraving by Joan Miró, titled "Composition bleu et rouge" and created in 1938, is a captivating piece featured in the renowned art publication, XXe Siècle. Miró's work in this engraving showcases his distinctive style and his exploration of color, form, and abstraction.
"Composition bleu et rouge" is emblematic of Miró's artistic evolution during the late 1930s, a period marked by his experimentation with surrealism and abstraction. In this engraving, Miró employs bold, sweeping lines and vibrant hues of blue and red to create a dynamic and visually compelling composition. The juxtaposition of these two primary colors generates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels.
As an engraving on linoleum, this piece demonstrates Miró's innovative approach to printmaking. The linoleum surface provides a unique texture and depth to the composition, adding a tactile dimension to the work. Miró's mastery of the engraving process is evident in the precision and fluidity of his lines, as well as the richness of the colors he employs.
Featured in XXe Siècle, a renowned art revue that showcased the work of leading modern artists, "Composition bleu et rouge" represents Miró's continued influence and significance within the art world. Through its expressive forms and vibrant colors, this engraving remains a testament to Miró's enduring legacy and his profound impact on the development of modern art.

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.”
