JOAN MIRO "OBRA INÈDITA RECENT V" LITHOGRAPH, 1964
Joan Miró (1893-1983) is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He is renowned internationally as a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist.
Miró’s works, which were at the intersection between Surrealism and abstraction, began receiving international attention in the 1920s. Miro had an incredibly prolific career and created artwork in an array of media until the time of his death in 1983.
Miró’s passionate rejection of traditional painting led him to reference and experiment with multiple styles including Cubism, Dutch Baroque, and Fauvism. He developed a unique visual language by combining abstract elements, specific colors, and reoccurring motifs.
His best-known period of work began in the early 1960s when he began receiving many public work commissions. His works are noted for their freshness, body language, and deep meanings. He is an important bridge between Surrealism and abstraction.
The “Obra Inèdita Recent” (Unpublished Recent Work) portfolio is a paradigm of Miro's oeuvre and artistic expression. Originally published as a catalogue for the 1964 Miró exhibitions at Sala Gaspar, Galeria Metras, and Belarte in Barcelona, the book features texts by Joan Brossa, A. Cirici, and E. Cirlot.
This plate is particularly well-orchestrated. Complimentary yellow and purple scribbles ground the image, accented by a green circle and thick, black annotations. The different elements vie for the viewer's attention, each holding their ground as they interact with one another. With a dynamic sense of depth, this composition is bold, playful, and classically Miro.
As an early, initialed and numbered lithograph, this Miro piece would make a great start or addition to any 20th Century Masters collection.
