About the Item
The 1964 original lithograph by Joan Miró, created for Barcelona’s Sala Gaspar, is an exquisite example of the artist’s innovative use of printmaking to express his distinct surrealist vision. Unlike a traditional poster, this lithograph is a work of art in its own right, produced with the meticulous care and craftsmanship that characterizes fine art lithography. The piece was crafted for an exhibition at Sala Gaspar, a gallery in Barcelona that played a crucial role in promoting avant-garde artists and fostering modern art in Catalonia.
Joan Miró, celebrated for his imaginative use of color, form, and symbolism, brought his signature surrealist style to this lithograph. The work reflects his ability to create a universe filled with abstract shapes and playful imagery that evoke a sense of spontaneity and freedom. Miró’s lithographs, like his paintings, are characterized by their vibrant colors and fluid lines, which together create a dynamic composition that draws the viewer into a dreamlike world.
The 1964 lithograph created for the Sala Gaspar exhibition is a reflection of Miró's deep connection to his Catalan roots and his dedication to supporting the local art scene. The gallery had a long-standing relationship with Miró, hosting several exhibitions of his work and providing a platform for him to showcase his artistic evolution. This lithograph is more than a promotional piece—it is an expression of Miró’s ongoing dialogue with his homeland and his commitment to the cultural vibrancy of Barcelona.
Lithography, a medium that Miró mastered over his career, allowed him to experiment with different textures and effects, giving his works a unique sense of depth and energy. This technique involves drawing on a flat surface, typically stone or metal, which is then treated to allow the ink to adhere only to the drawn areas. The resulting prints are noted for their richness and precision, qualities that Miró exploited to produce intricate and dynamic compositions. The lithograph for the Sala Gaspar exhibition showcases Miró’s ability to translate his bold and imaginative designs into print form, preserving the spontaneity and intensity of his original vision.
This particular lithograph from 1964 captures a moment in Miró’s artistic journey when he was increasingly engaged with printmaking as a medium. The work stands as a testament to his ability to innovate and push the boundaries of traditional art forms. It also highlights the importance of his relationship with Sala Gaspar, a gallery that played a vital role in supporting and promoting his work both locally and internationally.
Today, this original lithograph remains a sought-after piece for collectors and art enthusiasts, not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of Joan Miró’s contribution to the art world, particularly his impact on modern printmaking and surrealism. The lithograph encapsulates the artist’s ability to create evocative and thought-provoking works that continue to resonate with audiences.
In essence, the 1964 lithograph by Joan Miró for Sala Gaspar is a celebration of both his artistic genius and his enduring connection to Catalonia. It represents a moment in the artist’s career when he successfully fused his surrealist ideas with the meticulous craft of lithography, resulting in a work that is both visually striking and rich in cultural significance.

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.”
