About the Publication: Joan Miro Lithographs, Volume II, published in 1975 by Leon Amiel, New York, with lithographs printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, is the second installment in the monumental four-volume series documenting Miros complete lithographic work. The project was conceived as both an artistic and scholarly endeavor, uniting Miro’s technical innovation with comprehensive cataloguing of his print oeuvre. Volume II chronicles an essential period in Miros career—from 1950 to 1956—when his exploration of symbolic abstraction, vibrant color, and gestural spontaneity reached new levels of expressive freedom. The collaboration between Miro and the master lithographers at Mourlot resulted in works of exceptional brilliance and vitality, capturing the artist’s playful yet deeply spiritual sensibility. The album was produced with meticulous attention to detail, printed on the highest-quality velin paper, and accompanied by essays and documentation that provide historical and artistic context. Issued in English and French-language editions, Joan Miro Lithographs, Volume II stands as a landmark in 20th-century printmaking—testament to the enduring creative partnership between Miro, Mourlot, and the publishers Maeght and Amiel. 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 d'Art 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 Sotheby's, London, on June 19, 2012.

Conceived as a synthesis of art and literature, Verve brought together the greatest modern artists and writers of its time—Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Georges Braque, Joan Miro, Fernand Leger, and others—alongside poets and philosophers such as Paul Eluard, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Each issue was a work of art in itself, luxuriously printed by master lithographers such as Mourlot Freres and produced in collaboration with leading typographers and designers. Verve became a platform for avant-garde creativity, publishing original lithographs and essays that reflected the evolving spirit of modernism. Miro’s collaborations with Teriade for Verve exemplify his capacity to blend spontaneous imagery with profound poetic resonance.
