Book Description
Internationally acclaimed as one of the giants in the history of modern art, Joan Miró has long been fascinated by the processes and potentialities of printmaking. He has experimented with a great variety of techniques including a new etching process that utilizes carborundum and synthetic resins as well as the popular lithographic method that calls for drawing the original composition on transfer paper. His prints reveal his love of craft and awesome precision while communicating a new interpretation of reality through their color and line, harmony, and spontaneity. Indelible Miró is a handsome survey of the artist's achievements as a printmaker and illustrator from the early 1930s to the present. It is beautifully illustrated with 115 examples of his aquatints, drawings, drypoints, etchings, lithographs, book illustrations, posters, ranging from the sombre Barcelona Series through his prodigious Equinox to two charming new lithographs created especially for this book and suitable for framing.
