Joan Miró
Untitled, 1961 (Album 19, M.250)

1961

About the Item

Untitled (M.250) from the Album 19 suite is a lithograph on paper, image size 20 x 26.5 inches and framed in a contemporary, black wood frame, colors vibrant, initialed 'M.' lower right and annotated lower left. Catalogues - Maeght vol. II (fr.), #250; Cramer #70 From the total edition of 90, numbered 42/75 (there were also 15 HC numbered I/XV - XV/XV). Although widely associated with the Surrealist movement, Joan Miró never joined the renowned artist group that flourished out of Paris during the early twentieth century. His art was a reinvention of standard principles that fought against the canons of the day and in turn any bourgeois association with the high art of painting. Miró’s unconventional style produced a breadth of work, from ceramics sculptures to multiples, that highlighted his desire to work across mediums. During the aftermath of WWII, Miró reveled in the production of lithography. Playing with the combination of image and text, he created rhythmic sequences that according to the director of the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, Rosa Maria Malez, “abandoned the controlled execution of the fifties in favour of the gesture…a new form of brushstroke.” (1) By the 1960’s Miro’s working relationship with various publishing houses lead to the production of numerous illustrated books that Album 19 is a product of. Like Picasso before him, Miró was seen to take a child-like approach to his art. As stated by the surrealist writer, Michel Leiris, “The game of constructing things, a wonderful game of childhood or adolescence, is found in an almost pure state in Miró’s lithographs...through changes or permutations of color, changes of background, changes of direction, etc.” (2) Completed in 1961, Miró’s Album 19 is a perfect representation of this period in his artistic oeuvre.
