About the Item
The original 1966 lithograph by Joan Miró for the XXII Salon de Mai is a masterpiece of modern art, exemplifying the artist's groundbreaking contributions to Surrealism and automatism. Created specifically for the renowned Salon de Mai, an annual exhibition held in Paris, this lithograph showcases Miró's signature blend of abstraction, symbolism, and spontaneity.
Joan Miró, widely recognized as one of the leading figures of Surrealism, was celebrated for his innovative techniques and his ability to convey profound psychological and emotional depth. Although he never formally joined the Surrealist movement, his work consistently aligned with its ideals. He pioneered automatism, a method of spontaneous creation designed to express the workings of the subconscious mind. This lithograph reflects Miró's dedication to that approach, combining a dynamic use of color, intricate compositions, and flowing, organic forms. Recurring motifs like birds, eyes, and celestial elements often appear in his art, inviting viewers to explore their rich symbolic potential.
The XXII Salon de Mai, hosted at the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, was a major cultural event celebrating contemporary art. This original lithograph, printed by the esteemed Mourlot studio, served not just as promotional material for the exhibition but also as a standalone work of art. Mourlot’s collaboration with modern masters like Miró, Picasso, and Chagall cemented its reputation as a premier lithographic atelier. The craftsmanship of this lithograph reflects the precision and artistic integrity for which Mourlot was renowned.
This 1966 lithograph for the Salon de Mai remains a significant artifact in the history of modern art, embodying the creative energy of Miró and the innovative spirit of mid-20th-century Paris. It continues to captivate art enthusiasts and collectors, standing as a testament to Miró’s genius and his enduring impact on contemporary 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.”
