Joan Mir—, 1893-1983 GALET OVALE inscribed M on the verso ceramic on stone 21.2 by 8.5 by 1.4cm.; 8.375 by 3.375 by .5in. Executed in 1956 this work is unique. Literature Jose Pierre & Jose Corredor-Matheos, Mir— & Artigas, Ceramiques, Paris, 1974 p. 212 no. 131 illustrated Mir— first met Spanish ceramicist, Josep Llorens Artigas, in Barcelona in 1912. Their collaboration began in 1944 when they produced a series of tiles. However, these initial experimentations were unsatisfactory to both parties. Mir— and Artigas wanted to avoid the works being merely a transferral of Mir—'s paintings onto a ceramic base.. Instead, they aimed to produce works which responded directly to the ceramic medium.. In pursuit of this aim, Mir— took to decorating broken and abandoned fire clay with enamel.. Between 1954 and 1960 Mir— produced his greatest ceramics output, aided not only by Antigas himself, but also by his son Joan.. Mir— would produce sculptures from found objects and natural materials which would be tranlated into clay by Artigas.. Many of the works required a highly refined firing and glazing process which produced numerous 'accidents' and unexpected results.. For Mir—, these 'accidents' were an integral part of the creative process and added to the work rather than detracting from its perfect state.
