Original Signed Joan Miro Lithographs : Album 21, 1978

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 he died. 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 a beautiful original lithograph from Miro's Album 21 portfolio. This work was published by Maeght Editeur in 1978, in an edition of 75. This particular piece is referenced by Mourlot, #1128. This lithograph is signed in pencil in the lower right hand corner and measures 26" x 26" unframed. We are currently offering this wonderful original work of art for the excellent price of $5,500.00. This price includes museum quality archival framing.

Marc Chagall 1956 Illustrations for the Bible

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 Bathsheeba, measures 14" x 10" unframed, and is referenced in Mourlot, #132.
