Joan Miró

Centre d'études Catalanes (Center for Catalan Studies) (M. 1152)

This 1956 lithograph by Joan Miró exemplifies the artist's characteristic biomorphic vocabulary, featuring organic forms and vibrant colors rendered through the medium of color lithography. The work was created for the Centre d'études Catalanes, reflecting Miró's commitment to Catalan cultural institutions during a period of renewed artistic engagement after World War II. The composition demonstrates Miró's masterful use of the lithographic process to achieve layered, luminous effects on the fine Arches paper support.

Medium
Lithograph in colors, on Arches paper, with full margins.
