• RARE HC PROOF OF MIRO LITHOGRAPH
  RARE HC PROOF OF MIRO LITHOGRAPH - MARAVILLAS ...Joan Miro (Spanish, 1893-1983). "Wonders with Aristocratic Variations in Miro's Garden, III" (Maravillas con Variaciones Acrosticas en El Jardin de Miro) lithograph in colors, 1975. Edition: H.C. (Hors d Commerce Proof). "H.C." in pencil at lower left. Signature in pencil on lower right. An outstanding Hors d Commerce Proof of Joan Miro's "Wonders with Aristocratic Variations in Miro's Garden, III" by the Catalan master Joan Miro, one of the 20th century's most innovative artists. The compelling composition features Miro's signature abstract, symbolic motifs in brilliant shades of scarlet red, Aegean blue, violet, kelly green, siena brown, and canary yellow as well as jet black against the white ground of the BFK Rives paper. A rare hand-signed H.C. proof by Joan Miro. Size: 20.75" L x 29.25" W (52.7 cm x 74.3 cm) About the artist: Although Miro exhibited works with the Surrealists, he famously refused to be pigeon-holed in any one modern movement. This said, Andre Breton claimed that he was "the most Surrealist of us all," and Miro acknowledged that Surrealism was a great influence on his work, adopting automatism to move beyond his earlier representational style. The influences of Masson as well as Arp also liberated Miro, and his style came to include free calligraphic gestures and abstract ideographs rather than illustrative details. Miro would never embrace the picturesque leanings of Surrealism. Instead his work followed the formalist ideas of automatism and extreme analogy. He would become one of the most prolific and successful masters of Modern Art, joining the ranks of Picasso and Matisse. Miro began working in series in 1925. His series were inspired by conceptual ideas - such as his 'dream' paintings - rather than singular themes or motifs. Miro once cleverly compared his process to that of a gardener, "I think of my studio as a vegetable garden. Here, there are artichokes, there potatoes.… Things follow their natural course. They grow, they ripen. You have to graft. You have to water, as you do for lettuce. Things ripen in my mind. In addition, I always work on a great many things at once." Please Note: An Hors Commerce or Hors d'Commerce (H.C.) Proof is a print that artists create to show to dealers and galleries as examples of their work. Hors Commerce or Hors d'Commerce is a French term that translates to "do not sell". This composition was featured in the book, Rafael Alberti, Maravillas con Variaciones acrosticas en el Jardin de Miro, Editiones Poligrafa, Barcelona, 1975 (M. 1051-1072; C. books 211) Provenance: Private Los Angeles, California, USA collection All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
