About the Publication:
Cahiers dArt No. 24, published in 1949 under the direction of Christian Zervos, represents one of the most influential postwar issues of the legendary modernist revue Cahiers dArt. Known for its uncompromising production quality, intellectual rigor, and close collaboration with the most important artists of the avant-garde, Cahiers dArt played a pivotal role in shaping the discourse of 20th-century art. The 1949 volume continues this legacy through its integration of original prints, pochoirs, and critical texts, reflecting Zervoss commitment to presenting modern art with both scholarly precision and aesthetic refinement. Printed by Atelier Daniel Jacomet et Cie, one of the premier pochoir studios of the century, the publication exemplifies the high craftsmanship associated with Cahiers dArt and its role in disseminating the works of leading modernists to collectors, scholars, and institutions worldwide.
About the Artist:
Joan Miro (1893–1983) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose visionary imagination and lyrical abstraction made him one of the most influential and beloved artists of the 20th century. Born in Barcelona, Miro drew inspiration from Catalan folk art, Romanesque frescoes, and the luminous landscapes of Mont-roig del Camp, developing a deep connection to nature that infused his work with vitality and symbolism. After formal training at the Escola dArt in Barcelona, he absorbed the lessons of Post-Impressionism and Cubism before moving to Paris in the early 1920s, where he became a leading figure in the Surrealist movement. There, Miro forged a personal visual language of biomorphic shapes, floating symbols, and radiant color harmonies that reflected both spontaneity and spiritual depth. In creative dialogue with peers such as Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he helped revolutionize modern art by dissolving the boundaries between abstraction and dream imagery. Miros inventive approach extended far beyond painting, embracing sculpture, ceramics, and monumental public commissions that redefined how art could interact with space and emotion. His expressive freedom and gestural abstraction profoundly influenced later artists including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Antoni Tapies, and Joan Mitchell, inspiring generations who sought to merge instinct, color, and imagination. Today, Miros work remains a cornerstone of modernism, prized by collectors and celebrated in major museums worldwide. His highest auction record was achieved by Peinture (Etoile Bleue) (1927), which sold for 23,561,250 GBP (approximately 37 million USD) at Sothebys, London, on June 19, 2012.
