Homentage à Joan Prats (Tribute to Joan Prats): one plate (M. 1033, C. bks. 208)

This colored lithograph by Joan Miró honors the Catalan art collector and gallery owner Joan Prats, who played a significant role in supporting avant garde artists throughout the twentieth century. Created on Guarro paper, the work exemplifies Miró's mature style with its characteristic biomorphic forms, vibrant palette, and spontaneous gestural marks that suggest figures and celestial elements without adhering to representational imagery. The print belongs to Miró's later graphic output, when he continued to explore the expressive possibilities of lithography while maintaining the playful, dreamlike quality that defines his artistic practice.

Medium
Lithograph in colors, on Guarro paper, the full sheet.
