Good conditions except for some light foxings and some little tears along the margins. Beloved for his fantastical artworks filled with swirling, abstract forms, floating body parts, and otherworldly creatures, Miró was indeed one of the most significant 20th-century artists. 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.
