Classical Modernism
Miró, Joan
Album 19, plate 8. 1961. Colour lithograph on Rives Velin (with watermark). 51 x 76.5 cm. Signed, numbered and annotated by a third party. Print mark on the reverse. - Mounted in places. - Edges delicately browned, with very slight crease marks in places. Overall, very good condition. A magnificent print with a nuanced, chalky effect.
Mourlot 319. – One of 75 copies. – Published by Edition Maeght, Paris 1961. – From Album 19, one of Miró’s most significant printmaking collaborations. The album brings together 19 lithographs – seven of them by Miró – as visual responses to texts by the French poet Raymond Queneau, who had already coined the term ‘Miroglyph’ for Miró’s pictorial symbols as early as 1949. Queneau used this term to describe a form of painting that is not meant to be merely viewed, but rather to be deciphered. In this sheet, too, the individual elements come together to form an enigmatic semantic structure, a script that appears legible without ever fully revealing itself.
