Although best known for his paintings and sculptures, Joan Miro was a
prolific printmaker. It was an interest that developed later in his life,
and resulted in the creation of a large number of vibrant and original
illustrated books, portfolios, suites and individual works. Recognizing
the camaraderie and artistic discovery that occurred when working with
other artisans and masters, Joan Miro was initially attracted to printmaking
as a respite from the solitary labors of painting. From here, his interest
in the medium developed into a passion that gave birth to a great number
works during the 1960's to the early eighties. When asked about printmaking,
Joan Miro is recorded as saying, "…a painting is a unique example for
a single collector. But if I pull seventy-five examples, I increase by
seventy-five times the number of people who can own a work of mine. I
increase the reach of my message seventy-five times." Pictured above is
Homenatge a Joan Prats, a beautiful original lithograph published
by Poligrafa, Barcelona, in 1971. This work is numbered 12 out of an edition
of 75, and is hand signed in pencil in the lower right hand corner. This
original Joan Miro lithograph is referenced in the Mourlot Catalogue
Raisonne of Joan Miro lithographs, number 713. (This work has been sold.)
Marc Chagall's 1956 portfolio of original lithographs, Illustrations
for the Bible, was inspired by the texts of all twelve books of the
Bible. Specifically, Chagall chose to focus on the complex relationship
between God and Man present throughout the text. Initially begun in 1931,
the series was only finally completed and published in 1956 due to the
death of Chagall's publisher, Ambroise Vollard, and WWII. Pictured here
is an original color lithograph published by Verve as part of an additional
edition of Illustrations for the Bible also published in 1956.
In this edition, included are 17 original color lithographs based on 17
black and white engravings found in the first edition. This lovely work,
titled David and his Harp, measures 14" x 10" unframed, and is
referenced in the Mourlot Catalogue Raisonne of Marc Chagal lithographs,
number 134. We are currently offering this original lithograph for $1300
framed. Georgetown Frame Shoppe not only has this lithograph, but all

Picasso began making linocuts while working in the south of France on
the famous Vallauris Chapel. Originally he intended to employ the technique
for the creation of posters for exhibitions at Vallauris, but was inspired
to develop his interest further. Picasso worked closely with printer Hidalgo
Arnera creating hundreds of prints. Pictured above is Picasso's Tete
de Garcon II. This original Picasso linocut is hand signed in pencil
in the bottom right hand corner, and numbered 5/50. This linocut was published
in 1962, by Arnera, Vallauris. Tete de Garcon II measures 17-1/2"
x 24-1/2" unframed. Reference: Bloch number 1025. (This work has been sold.)
