Description
“Jobreteixims” by Joan Miró for Galerie Maeght Framed and Matted Print. The colorful surrealist art is accented perfectly with a beautiful white mat and black frame with a gold bevel.
Joan Miró (1893-1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. His work has earned international acclaim, interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an “assassination of painting” in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting. In joyful rebellion against conventional painting methods, Spanish Surrealist Joan Miro’s art exudes an uninhibited childlike freedom of expression. Drawing inspiration from 1920’s Paris’ counterculture, his art is filled with wonderful absurdity. Miro’s use of primary and secondary colors as well as organic shapes conveys a lively, energetic zest for life – a playground of the artist’s subconscious mind.
Galerie Maeght is a well-known art gallery, founded by Aime and Marguerite Maeght in 1936 in Cannes. At that time, La Riviera was a refuge for many artists and writers escaping occupied areas, and the Maeghts met an incredible array of talent, including the Van Velde brothers, Picasso, Matisse and Pierre Bonnard. Galerie Maeght is now based in Paris and Barcelona and remains as a meeting place for artists and poets. Artists including Bonnard, Braque, Matisse, Picasso, Miro, Chillida, Calde and Tapies, to name a few, have held exhibitions at the Gallery, while the Gallery itself has hosted such exhibitions as André Breton and Marcel Duchamp’s 1947 “Le Surrealism”. Gallery Maeght is arguably the most important printer of lithographs and etchings in the world.
