Joan Miro (Spanish (Catalan), 1893-1983). Etching and aquatint from "Les Brisants" depicting an abstract form in primarily red, 1958. Pencil signed along the lower right; numbered II/X (2/10) along the lower left.Provenance: Private Minnesota Collection.Reference: Dupin 238; Cramer 46.Lot Essay:Joan Miro's early works were influenced by Catalan folk art and Fauvism, but it was his encounter with Surrealism in Paris during the 1920s that profoundly shaped his artistic vision. Embracing the Surrealist ethos of unlocking the subconscious mind, Miro developed a unique visual language characterized by biomorphic forms, dreamlike symbols, and vibrant colors. His paintings, such as "The Farm" (1921-1922) and "The Tilled Field" (1923-1924), evoke a sense of poetic spontaneity and primal energy.Throughout his career, Miro continued to innovate, exploring various mediums including painting, sculpture, ceramics, and printmaking. His experimentation with automatic drawing and spontaneous mark-making liberated his artistic process, allowing for a fluid and intuitive approach to creation. Miro's iconic works, such as "The Harlequin's Carnival" (1924-1925) and "The Birth of the World" (1925), exemplify his playful yet profound exploration of form and color.In addition to his artistic achievements, Miro was a committed advocate for social and political causes, particularly during the tumultuous period of the Spanish Civil War and World War II. His art often served as a vehicle for political commentary, expressing solidarity with the oppressed and advocating for peace and freedom. Miro's enduring legacy as a pioneer of Surrealism and a champion of artistic experimentation continues to inspire generations of artists, as his boundless imagination and creative spirit remain as relevant today as ever before. Through his daring exploration of the subconscious and his fearless embrace of spontaneity, Miro transcended artistic conventions, leaving an indelible mark on the trajectory of modern art.Sight; height: 7 in x width: 5 3/4 in.

Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). Etching and aquatint on wove paper titled "Bande dessinee," from the 347 Series, 1968. Pencil signed along the lower right; numbered 18/50 along the lower left. Printed by Aldo and Piero Crommelynck and published by Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris.Provenance: Private Connecticut Collection, 1991; Private Minnesota Collection.Reference: Bloch 1491.Lot Essay:Pablo Picasso stands as one of the most renowned and prolific artists of the 20th century, whose innovative and groundbreaking work revolutionized the course of Western art. Born in Malaga, Spain, Picasso demonstrated exceptional artistic talent from a young age and received formal training at various art academies. His early works, influenced by Symbolism and the Blue and Rose Periods, showcased his versatility and mastery of traditional techniques.Picasso's career underwent a seismic shift with the advent of Cubism, a movement he co-founded alongside Georges Braque. Cubism shattered conventional notions of perspective and representation, presenting multiple viewpoints simultaneously and breaking objects down into geometric forms. Picasso's seminal work "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" (1907) marked a turning point in art history, foreshadowing the radical innovations that would follow.Throughout his prolific career, Picasso continued to push artistic boundaries, experimenting with diverse styles and mediums, including sculpture, ceramics, and collage. His involvement with Surrealism and his exploration of African and Iberian art further enriched his artistic vocabulary.Notably, Picasso's "347 Series," produced in 1968, is a testament to his relentless experimentation. This series comprises 347 etchings created within a span of just seven months - from March 16 to October 8, 1968 - showcasing Picasso's extraordinary output and his ability to innovate even in his later years. Picasso's 347 Series works are among the last hand-signed etchings and engravings the artist created and were dedicated to his friend, Jamie Sabartes.Picasso's influence transcended the confines of the art world, shaping the cultural landscape of the 20th century and beyond. His legacy as a visionary artist, innovator, and provocateur continues to resonate, inspiring generations of artists and sparking dialogue about the nature of creativity and artistic expression. Through his relentless pursuit of innovation and his fearless embrace of experimentation, Picasso left an indelible mark on art history, cementing his status as a titan of modernism and one of the most enduring figures in the pantheon of great artists.Sight; height: 22 3/4 in x width: 17 3/4 in.

Miro's iconic works, such as "The Harlequin's Carnival" (1924-1925) and "The Birth of the World" (1925), exemplify his playful yet profound exploration of form and color.In addition to his artistic achievements, Miro was a committed advocate for social and political causes, particularly during the tumultuous period of the Spanish Civil War and World War II. His art often served as a vehicle for political commentary, expressing solidarity with the oppressed and advocating for peace and freedom. Miro's enduring legacy as a pioneer of Surrealism and a champion of artistic experimentation continues to inspire generations of artists, as his boundless imagination and creative spirit remain as relevant today as ever before. Through his daring exploration of the subconscious and his fearless embrace of spontaneity, Miro transcended artistic conventions, leaving an indelible mark on the trajectory of modern art.Sight; height: 27 1/2 in x width: 41 1/4 in.
