Joan Miró Derriere le Miroir #57-58-59 (Cover and Page 2) - Double Sided Lithograph Derriere le Miroir Original Portfolio
Joan Miró was born April 20, 1893 in Barcelona, Spain. Like Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Salvador Dali, Miró is one of the great pioneers of twentieth-century art. Miró began drawing at a young age, and his choice of subjects were: tufts of grass, insects, birds, etc. revealed in an early affinity for the organic. Though based on his obse...rvations of nature, his works were abstractions, and bridged the gap between realistic and abstract imagery.The Surrealistic concept of automatism (allowing the subconscious to dictate visual forms) helped to drive Miró's imagination throughout his career. As a result, he produced vivid biomorphic imagery. Miró also identified strongly with the Surrealist poets, and collaborated with them on many artists books, to which he would contribute illustrations.In the 1960's, Miró devoted more time to printmaking, creating lithographs, etchings and aquatints. Miró was attracted to printmaking and sculpture as a respite from the solitary nature of painting, and as an opportunity to work together printers and other art techniques. These experiences enhanced Miró's own creative repertoire. For instance, one notices the calligraphic nature of Miró's "Femme dans la nuit" (Woman in the Night), a wax crayon and watercolor composition from 1967 to 1971, which could easily have been conceived as a study for a lithograph, despite it's size and being of mixed media.Miró recognized an advantage in printmaking, stating: "A painting is a unique example for a single collector. But if I pull seventy-five examples, I increase by seventy-five times the number of people who can own a work of mine. I increase the reach of my message seventy-five times more." Joan Miró died on December 25, 1983, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
