Joan Miro Artwork & Miro Prints

Joan Miro (1893-1983) was born in Spain but was drawn to the Parisian art scene as a young man. Throughout his long career, Joan Miro’s artwork was a bridge between the figurative and the abstract. Although considered a Surrealist and closely associated with André Breton, Miró rejected formal membership in the group, not wanting to limit himself artistically. Highly prolific, Joan Miró was a gifted painter and sculptor, and in later years worked in ceramics and stained glass. Some of Joan Miro’s artwork was featured and presented alongside other greats: Pierre Matisse, Marc Chagall and others.

Here at Affordable Art 101, we celebrate Miró as a printmaker. From the 1930’s onward, Miro began producing exceptional pochoirs, lithographs and etchings; the pace accelerated in the 1960’s, at the urging of Aimé Maeght. From a print collector’s perspective, Miró was active in Paris during the middle decades of the 20th Century, working closely with Master Printer Fernand Mourlot, as well as publishers Aimé Maeght (founder of Derriére le Miroir, to whom we print collectors are indebted for so many original Miro lithographs), Gualtieri di San Lazzaro (founder of the journal XXe Siecle—Chroniques du Jour) and Christian Zervos (founder of Cahiers d’Art and the publisher of several rare Miro pochoirs).
