"miró lithographe i - plate vii" is a vintage lithograph realized by joan miró in 1972. Perfect conditions. It comes from the set of 11 lithographs realized for the catalogue "miró lithographe i" edited by graphis arte, livorno and toninelli arte moderna, milano, in 1972. Reference: patrick cramer, joan miró, c atalogue raisonné des livres illustrés , editeur p. Cramer, genève 1989, n. 160. While joan miró (1893-1983) rejected any formal association with movements or groups, including the surrealists, andré breton recognised him as “the most surrealist of us all”. His artistic approach encouraged the free play of associations, and envisaged “accidents” to provoke reactions closely connected to subconscious experiences. Miró’s famous motifs consist of freely reshaped fragments cut from catalogues for machinery on canvases to form black silhouettes – solid or in outline, with dramatic accents of white and red. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
