Joan Miro (1893-1983) - Peintures, Gouaches, Dessins

Joan Miró (1893–1983)

Original Colour Lithograph, 1972

An original colour lithograph by Joan Miró, created in connection with the exhibition Peintures, Gouaches, Dessins, held at Galerie Maeght in Zürich in June–July 1972.

The work presents Miró’s characteristic visual language: freely drawn black lines, gestural marks and organic, biomorphic forms combined with vivid fields of red, blue, green and yellow. The composition is set against a richly textured background of sprayed and splattered marks, creating a dynamic contrast between spontaneous gesture and carefully balanced colour.

This is an original lithograph, not a later reproduction. It was printed and published by the Maeght gallery in connection with the 1972 Zürich exhibition. The lithographs from this publication are documented in the catalogue raisonné of Miró’s graphic work, Miró Lithographe IV, with the relevant 1972 works listed under Cramer 163 / Miró Lithographe IV, nos. 842–844.

The lithograph is unsigned, as issued, and printed on wove paper. The present sheet measures approximately 47 × 31.5 cm.
