After Joan Miró (1893–1983) — Abstract Composition — Derrière le miroir

Technique: Color lithography.
Year: 1967 (presumed publication).
Period: 1960–1969.
Framed dimensions: height 38 cm × width 56 cm (landscape format).
Signature: No identifiable handwritten signature on the photograph.
Date inscribed: No identifiable date.

The composition unfolds with broad, gestural black lines, punctuated by small blue, red, green, and yellow patches. The apparent spontaneity of the lines and the lightness of the color accents evoke the graphic language associated with Miró. Sheet presented as issued from Derrière le miroir (Maeght edition), circa 1967. It is offered after Joan Miró; the status as an original lithograph has not been established.

The lithograph allows printing lines close to the drawn gesture and juxtaposing bold colors. The flat areas and diffuse marks create here a contrast between the density of black and the vibrancy of color.

Condition: Good condition — a tear noted on an additional view.

Joan Miró (1893–1983), Catalan painter, sculptor and printmaker, developed a personal vocabulary of signs, stars and organic shapes. Associated with Surrealism without being limited to it, he made printmaking a major domain of his creative work. His collaborations with studios and with Maeght editions helped disseminate his graphic oeuvre throughout the 20th century.
