I always think that everything is going to turn out badly.<br \/>If there is something humorous in my paintings it\u2019s not that I have<br \/>consciously looked for it. Perhaps this humor comes from a need to<br \/>escape the tragic side of my temperament.<\/em><a href=\"#miro1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Joan Mir\u00f3 was born in Barcelona on April 20, 1893. His mother was Dolores Ferra i Orom\u00ed and came from Palma de Mallorca; his father, Miquel Mir\u00f3 i Adzaries, was a goldsmith and watchmaker from the vicinity of Tarragona in Catalonia. Joan Mir\u00f3 spent his early youth in Barcelona. When he was seven years old, he began to attend a private school at Calle del Regomir and at that time he also received his very first lessons in drawing. Against his will, but for the sake of his father, he attended a business school in 1907. He studied at the La Lonja School of Fine Arts at the same time, where his teachers were Modesto Urgell Inglada, a romantic landscape painter, and Jos\u00e9 Pasco Merisa, Professor of Applied Arts. From a web of unfortunate circumstances, Mir\u00f3 became severely ill in 1911, culminating in a nervous breakdown, so his parents moved with him to their country farm in Montroig in the province of Tarragona. After young Joan&#8217;s recovery, he ultimately produced only art. <\/p>\n<p>Mir\u00f3 studied at the avant-garde Academy of Francisco Gal\u00ed in Barcelona from 1912 until 1915; but from October 1913 to 1918 he was also drawing at the Saint Lluc Artists&#8217; Circle. He held his first solo exhibition between February 16 and March 3, 1918 in the Barcelona Dalmau Gallery. His works from this period suggest an origin in C\u00e9zanne&#8217;s concept of image analysis, in Matisse&#8217;s pure color surfaces and decorative arabesque and, clearly, in relevant artistic interpretations of Cubist art forms from Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso and Sonia Delaunay.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4720\" style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M02.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"2500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1052\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M02-500x210.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Mur de la Lune, 1957\/58, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Maeght 1711, 35 x 82 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4720\" class=\" wp-image-4720\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M02-1024x431.jpg\" alt=\"Mur de la Lune, 1957\/58, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Maeght 1711, 35 x 82 cm\" width=\"605\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M02-1024x431.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M02-500x210.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Mur de la Lune<\/strong>, 1957\/58, color lithograph, WVZ Maeght 1711, 35 x 82 cm<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Contemporary French painting undoubtedly magnified Mir\u00f3&#8217;s exploratory nature at this point, particularly after his first visit to Paris in 1920. Certainly the painter&#8217;s artistic character was shaped by his inclination towards avant-garde currents, which is confirmed by his relatively early contact with Dadaism; namely, when the first Dadaist magazine &#8220;391&#8221; was published in 1917 in Barcelona, he made the acquaintance of Francis Picabia, an important protagonist of Parisian, and later New York, Dadaism. One could say that in such a spiritual atmosphere and in his preoccupation with creativity, Mir\u00f3&#8217;s artistic language gradually matured and is reflected in the landscapes he created between 1918 and 1922.<a href=\"#miro2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a> In the spirit of magic realism and under the perceptible influence of customs officer Rousseau, they depict the rural milieu of domestic Montroig. Minutely rendered details of flora and fauna stand out alongside the topographically identifiable likeness of village houses, homesteads<a href=\"#miro3\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a> and figurative sequences. A high degree of stylization characterizes the forms, so they appear nearly arabesque and harmonize in a unique, brilliant Catalonian coloration. Mir\u00f3&#8217;s early works and his art in general contain everything that is typical, and for him commonly characteristic, which, in a seemingly simple system of signs, reveal the spiritual essence of the world.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4721\" style=\"width: 130px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M13.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1824\" data-lbwps-height=\"2500\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M13-365x500.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Femme et Oiseau dans la Tourmente, 1967, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Mourlot 442, 38 x 28 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4721\" class=\"wp-image-4721 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M13-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"Femme et Oiseau dans la Tourmente, 1967, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Mourlot 442, 38 x 28 cm\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4721\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Femme et Oiseau dans la Tourmente<\/strong>, 1967, color lithograph, WVZ Mourlot 442, 38 x 28 cm<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In this context, it is important to highlight the traits of the, we could even say canonical, works that Mir\u00f3 painted in 1923-1924, superbly exemplified by<em> The Tilled Field<\/em><a href=\"#miro4\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a> and <em>Catalan Landscape (The Hunter)<\/em>.<a href=\"#miro5\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/a> In other words, they show a newly formed artistic language whose elements, as Hajo D\u00fcchting excellently noted,<a href=\"#miro6\"><sup>6<\/sup><\/a> are based on a close observation of nature and an interpretion of its magical properties in a poetic system of peculiar signs and colors. It is a realm of rudimentary symbols, caught in geometric shapes, circles, triangles, cones, etc. on various spatial planes, and in tiny, highly abstract abridgements of the objective universe. Here, of course, is also a bold use of basic art elements like dots, diverse flat, thin, reinforced, vigorous lines and the written word, to geometric figures, which make up an iconographically- acknowledged conglomeration of signs. This in no way has only one meaning; to the contrary, it is multifaceted, multi-meaninged, emotionally evocative and, in a covert manner, sexually associative. It is right on the edge between the real and the surreal, between cognitive consciousness and a phantasmagorical embodiment of the unconscious mind. <\/p>\n<p> Mir\u00f3&#8217;s crypto-symbols, stylized artistically and attuned to phantasmagorical semblances of anthropomorphic, zoomorphic and vegetable spheres, translated, so to speak, into copious character symbols, look magically uncomplicated. In spite of numerous interpretations that, in the sense of a creativity paradigm, discern a psychic automatism in Mir\u00f3&#8217;s creative process, which obviously places his works within a surrealistically psychological reception, nonetheless, it may be useful to recall the artist&#8217;s earlier point of departure. Namely, prior to 1919 Mir\u00f3 explored dimensions with naturalistic tendencies and on his way to stylization sought hints of his own expression in oriental art. &#8220;The arabesque became calligraphy. There was great modesty in all this, and there was something religious about the way I painted.&#8221;<a href=\"#miro7\"><sup>7<\/sup><\/a> It can be understood from the foregoing that Mir\u00f3 arrived at his unique formal postulates through the abstraction and stylization of nature, therewith defining the basis of his original art formulations and his identifiable expression. It follows that Mir\u00f3&#8217;s ability to invent artistically comes as close as possible to including such concepts as are found in uniquely spiritual, properly religious, experiences. Only later did he fully arrive at a suitable reception of psychic automatism, both artistic and religious, visual and spiritual, in accordance with Surrealism.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4722\" style=\"width: 614px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M14.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"2500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1765\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M14-500x353.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Le L\u00e9zard aux Plumes d&amp;#8217;Or III, 1967, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 447, 36 x 50 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4722\" class=\" wp-image-4722\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M14-1024x723.jpg\" alt=\"Le L\u00e9zard aux Plumes d'Or III, 1967, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 447, 36 x 50 cm\" width=\"604\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M14-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M14-500x353.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4722\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Le L\u00e9zard aux Plumes d&#8217;Or III<\/strong>, 1967, color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 447, 36 x 50 cm<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mir\u00f3&#8217;s artistic canon, therefore, is based on psychic automatism, which means that the process of creating a work of art implies the specific building up of images with random hand activity on the selected surface. The final product and external aspect of Mir\u00f3&#8217;s artworks are the result of highly authentic reflexes of the unconscious mind. Of course, his fields of inspiration, extremely binding within the meaning of psycho-automatic receptions, came from an exceptionally wide spectrum of influences: from rich folk traditions, meditation, dream visions, hallucinatory states, mysterious, mystical experiences, disguised erotic phantasms to magic and occult practices.<\/p>\n<p>A crucial time in Mir\u00f3&#8217;s life and work was, accordingly, during the twenties. In addition to his native Montroig, he spent increasingly more time in Paris. From the outset he befriended his compatriot, Pablo Picasso and became acquainted with the Dadaists, with Francis Picabia, Pierre Reverdy, Tristan Tzara, although ultimately he was closer to a circle of Surrealists, Andr\u00e9 Breton, Paul \u00c9luard, Andr\u00e9 Masson, Louis Aragon and others. In spite of similarities in creativity, philosophy and world view, however, Mir\u00f3 never wanted to become a member of the Surrealistic group. In fact, more than anything, his proximity to Dadaism \u2014 from which avant-garde movement Surrealism grew \u2014 evoked his exploratory restlessness, intellectual broadness and boundless faith in the power of the poetic in art.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4726\" style=\"width: 130px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M27.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"2500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1803\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M27-500x361.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Le Courtisan Grotesque VII, 1974, Barvna jedkanica in akvatinta\/Sz\u00ednes r\u00e9zkarc \u00e9s akvatinta\/Color etching and aquatint, WVZ Dupin 667, 42 x 59 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4726\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-4726\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M27-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"Le Courtisan Grotesque VII, 1974, Barvna jedkanica in akvatinta\/Sz\u00ednes r\u00e9zkarc \u00e9s akvatinta\/Color etching and aquatint, WVZ Dupin 667, 42 x 59 cm\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Le Courtisan Grotesque VII<\/strong>, 1974, color etching and aquatint, WVZ Dupin 667, 42 x 59 cm<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the second half of the 1920s, Mir\u00f3 presented to the fields of meaning and art his idea for so-called \u201cpoetic\u201d pictures by painting the words of poems in them.

By incorporating collage and experimenting with art materials he intended, as he himself stated, &#8220;to assassinate painting,\u201d<a href=\"#miro8\"><sup>8<\/sup><\/a> very strongly approaching an anti-aesthetic and anti-painting idiom. In some respects an exit from all that is seen in a series of pictures he painted after 1932, upon whose pure abstract color planes he expressed a momentary, concrete spiritual reality. That such a reality is unique and unrepeatable is apparent in Mir\u00f3&#8217;s own statement: &#8220;When I stand in front of a canvas, I never know what I\u2019m going to do\u2013and nobody is more surprised than I at what comes out.\u201d<a href=\"#miro9\"><sup>9<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p> At the beginning of the second half of the 1930s, his so-called \u201cWild Paintings\u201d occupied the next stage in the development of his works. Their subdued, darker colors bear an ominous, apocalyptic air. They came into being, after all, at a time when civil war raged in Spain. From its inception until 1940, Mir\u00f3 did not return to Spain and his homestead in Catalonia&#8217;s Montroig. Miro&#8217;s attitude toward and commitment to the Republican side, together with the unfortunately destroyed mural, <em>The Reaper<\/em>, which, alongside Picasso&#8217;s Guernica, represented the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris World Exhibition in 1937, may be best illustrated by his remarkable poster, <em>Aidez l&#8217;Espagne (Help Spain!)<\/em>, that also appeared the same year as a silk screen print. As well as its social preoccupation and political weight, however, the articulate, commanding poster naturally has artistic elements, evident in the contrast between its blue background and the expressive, stylized features of the figure with a raised fist, in yellow, red, white and black. The poster&#8217;s artistic character is very indicative, for it depicts the contrasting colors of Mir\u00f3&#8217;s postwar print oeuvre, which is, of course, the central theme of the Lendava exhibition.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4724\" style=\"width: 130px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M23.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1783\" data-lbwps-height=\"2500\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M23-357x500.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"L&amp;#8217; \u0153il du faucon, 1971, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 702, 106 x 76 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4724\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-4724\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M23-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"L' \u0153il du faucon, 1971, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 702, 106 x 76 cm\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>L&#8217; \u0153il du faucon<\/strong>, 1971, color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 702, 106 x 76 cm<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This exhibition of Joan Mir\u00f3&#8217;s prints originated in the already-established co-operation between the Gallery-Museum Lendava and the Kunstgalerie B\u00f6ttingerhaus, together with the Bamberg collector and patron, Mr. Richard H. Mayer. Lendava&#8217;s curators were able to select graphics for the exhibition only from an available stock in the Mayer collection. Thus, it holds to some extent that for the showing of the graphics in Lendava only a partial insight into Mir\u00f3&#8217;s print creativity is provided, dating back to after he had won the Grand Prix at the XXVII. Venice Biennale in 1954. Truth be told, however, it is necessary to add that this is a colorful selection aiming to satisfy all eager lovers of art and especially those who admire Joan Mir\u00f3. Lendava&#8217;s exhibition brings a veritable spectrum of Mir\u00f3&#8217;s colored lithographs (stone prints) to view, that originated from around the mid-50s until the artist&#8217;s death in 1983.<\/p>\n<p>Although the majority of them come from Miro&#8217;s later print oeuvre, it nevertheless seems called for to highlight some of the main characteristics of their development. Namely, the artist focused on printmaking intensively only in his later years, sometime around 1933, when he created the picture, <em>Daphnis and Clo\u00e9<\/em> in dry needle and aquatint. If it is possible to observe an analogy with Picasso in it, then the etchings from a few years later, <em>Giant and Woman and Volcano<\/em> (1938),<a href=\"#miro10\"><sup>10<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0seem to be in complete accordance with Miro&#8217;s already totally recognizable iconographic acceptance of Surrealism. Similarly, on the level of dream representation, the same is also reflected in his 1947 etching, <em>Woman and Bird in Front of the Moon (Femme et oiseau devant la moon)<\/em>, where Mir\u00f3 utilizes compact, outline forms and in the outcome, anticipates his own exceptional sculptural productions. All his \u201cpoetic\u201d paintings that came forth before 1930 effectively reached out to poetry as a source of inspiration. In addition to his own poems, his visualized subjects came from the poetical works of his great literary contemporaries. Already in 1948 he began to create eighty colored woodcuts for a collection of poems, <em>A Toute \u00c9preuve (Foolproof)<\/em>, by Paul \u00c9luard, but he didn&#8217;t finish them until 1958.<a href=\"#miro11\"><sup>11<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4723\" style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M21.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"2500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1918\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M21-500x384.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Homenatge a Joan Prats, 1971, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Mourlot 729, 62 x 80 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4723\" class=\" wp-image-4723\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M21-1024x786.jpg\" alt=\"Homenatge a Joan Prats, 1971, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Mourlot 729, 62 x 80 cm\" width=\"605\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M21-1024x786.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M21-500x384.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Homenatge a Joan Prats<\/strong>, 1971, color lithograph, WVZ Mourlot 729, 62 x 80 cm<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As well as the demanding techniques of etchings and dry needle, and also woodcuts, the bulk of Mir\u00f3&#8217;s printmaking was actually made up of color lithographs. Miro already illustrated a book of poems with lithographs in 1930, <em>L&#8217;Arbre des voyageurs (The Traveler&#8217;s Tree<\/em>; \u00c9ditions de la Montagne) by Tristan Tzara, but his deep interest in lithography only became apparent during his first American journey in 1947, while visiting Stanley William Hayter&#8217;s Studio 17 in Greenich Village. Indeed, the following year he made a major move towards the production of color lithographs. His design of a poster for an exhibition in the Parisian Galerie Maeght marks the beginning of this creative process. The gallery owner, Aim\u00e9 Maeght, in close cooperation with various top artists, followed an affirmative mission by publishing a number of prestigious folders of prints and bibliophile editions and distributing them abundantly on the art market. Joan Mir\u00f3 was also induced to take part. Between the years 1948-1950, he illustrated Tzara&#8217;s poetry collection, Speaking Alone. <em>Poetry (Parler seul. Po\u00e8me)<\/em> with twenty color lithographs. The Galerie Maeght published, in addition to Tristan Tzara and Paul \u00c9luard, other exceptionally valuable, bibliophile editions of poetry in subsequent years: Andr\u00e9 Breton, Ren\u00e9 Char, Andr\u00e9 Fr\u00e9naud, Michel Leiris and Raimond Queneu. The Mourlot Studio in Paris also carried out important work, particularly by producing extensive copies of luxurious editions of prints.<a href=\"#miro12\"><sup>12<\/sup><\/a> It was led by the great printmaking master, Fernand Mourlot. Large series of prints from many great artists and Mir\u00f3&#8217;s contemporaries, like Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall and others, originated there. Mir\u00f3 spent most of his time in Spain after 1956, mainly in a prominent studio in Palma de Mallorca designed by his friend and compatriot, architect Josep Llu\u00eds Sert. Today it is the seat of Fundaci\u00f3 Pilar i Joan Mir\u00f3. According to his plans, the Joan Mir\u00f3 Foundation building was erected in Barcelona twelve years later, in 1968, within the framework of the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Art (Fundaci\u00f3 Joan Mir\u00f3, Centre d&#8217;Estudis d&#8217;Art Contemporani). In the Spanish mileu, Mir\u00f3 composed a large part of his later print oeuvre in his native Montroig, as well as in the other abovementioned places.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4725\" style=\"width: 130px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M24.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1809\" data-lbwps-height=\"2500\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M24-362x500.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Oda \u00e0 Joan Mir\u00f3, 1973, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 175, 104 x 75 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4725\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-4725\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M24-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"Oda \u00e0 Joan Mir\u00f3, 1973, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 175, 104 x 75 cm\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4725\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Oda \u00e0 Joan Mir\u00f3<\/strong>, 1973, color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 175, 104 x 75 cm<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It was a time of exceptional productivity for Mir\u00f3, which, of course, this exhibition shows in about a quarter of the sporadically chosen color lithographs, such as <em>The Lizard with Feathers of Gold (Le Lezard aux Plumes d&#8217;Or)<\/em>, with its meaningful tinge and artistic freshness; or motifs after <em>Satie&#8217;s Poems and Chansons (Composition Satie Po\u00e9mes et Chansons)<\/em>; <em>Proverbs (Ma de proverbis)<\/em>, and his etchings and color 28 aquatints based on <em>Courtier Grotesque (Le Courtisan Grotesque)<\/em>. He created a more resolved and assertive series (1974) under a common \u201cleitmotiv,\u201d <em>Sculpture&#8230; (Escultura &#8230;)<\/em>, an ideological projection on countries of the world. A full twenty color lithographs, characterized by almost sketchy impressions and refined structures of the lithographic grid in lines and typically colorful characters, make up a charming and poetically imbued series, <em>Wonders with Acrostic Variations in Mir\u00f3&#8217;s Garden (Maravillas con Variaciones Acr\u00f3sticas en el Jard\u00edn de Mir\u00f3)<\/em>. Of course, a wealth of art and essence can be found also in the remaining works, but certainly the fourteen prints from the lithographic series, <em>The Acid Melody (La Melodia Acid)<\/em>, created during the last of the 90 years of life of this great artist, conclude with meaning, feeling \u2014 and jubilance.<\/p>\n<p> Joan Mir\u00f3 invented his own universe of artistic language and meaning, glimpses of his dream world, a realm of the unconscious, extending between a symbolic recognition of human emotions and unforgettable phantasmagorical projections, artistically abstracted to simple, child-like forms. These, woven together with words of poetic passages, mingle with signs of pure motifs: the sun, the moon and the stars&#8230; They are wholly thought out calligraphically and are set together as such in distinct relations of contrasting colors, in multiple variations of pure black, red, yellow, blue and green. Elsewhere they are refined, lithographically halftoned, abstract. And it is precisely all those tiny art elements, points, gestures, geometric shapes, colors, amazingly simple and unforgettable, that express the artistic and spiritual essence of Joan Mir\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Janez Bala\u017eic<\/strong>, <span id=\"result_box\" class=\"short_text\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"\">art historian<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M28.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"2500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1866\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M28-500x373.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Dorothea Tanning, 1974, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer L 929, 38 x 51 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-galerija alignnone wp-image-4727 size-thumbnail\" title=\"Dorothea Tanning, 1974, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer L 929, 38 x 51 cm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M28-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"MIRO_M28\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M32.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"2500\" data-lbwps-height=\"1250\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M32-500x250.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Escultor \u2013 Japan, 1974, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 937, 20 x 40 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-galerija alignnone wp-image-4728 size-thumbnail\" title=\"Escultor \u2013 Japan, 1974, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 937, 20 x 40 cm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M32-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"MIRO_M32\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M55.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1764\" data-lbwps-height=\"2500\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M55-353x500.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Maravillas con Variaciones Acr\u00f3sticas en El Jard\u00edn de Mir\u00f3 XII, 1975, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 1064, 49 x 35 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-galerija alignnone wp-image-4729 size-thumbnail\" title=\"Maravillas con Variaciones Acr\u00f3sticas en El Jard\u00edn de Mir\u00f3 XII, 1975, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer 1064, 49 x 35 cm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M55-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"MIRO_M55\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M95.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1803\" data-lbwps-height=\"2500\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M95-361x500.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"Composition 90. anniversaire, 1983, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer, 66 x 48 cm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-galerija alignnone wp-image-4730 size-thumbnail\" title=\"Composition 90. anniversaire, 1983, Barvna litografija\/Sz\u00ednes litogr\u00e1fia\/Color lithograph, WVZ Cramer, 66 x 48 cm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gml.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/MIRO_M95-120x120.jpg\" alt=\"MIRO_M95\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">NOTES:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><a name=\"miro1\"><\/a><strong>1<\/strong> &#8211; \u201cI Work Like a Gardener\u201d, letter to Yvon Taillandier, February 15, 1959, in:<em> Joan Mir\u00f3.
