Joan Miró

Plate IX, from Le Lézard Aux Plume d'Or (Cramer Books 148; Mourlot 809)

This 1971 lithograph by Joan Miró represents a plate from "Le Lézard Aux Plume d'Or," a series showcasing the artist's characteristic biomorphic forms and vibrant color palette. Printed in multiple colors by the renowned Atelier Mourlot and limited to an edition of 50, the work exemplifies Miró's playful approach to abstraction through organic, gestural marks and spontaneous composition. The print retains its full margins and bears the artist's watermark, preserving the work as an important example of late twentieth century printmaking from this Spanish Surrealist master.
