Joan Miro "Beats" - Lithograph Signed Limited Edition. Size: 37" x 37". Unframed 25" x 25". About the Artist: Joan Miro the Surrealist famous for his biomorphic and abstract paintings was also a prolific printmaker, creating over 1,000 lithographs over the course of his career. Indeed, Miro's first prints were lithographs, a printmaking method that enables artists to draw directly on a stone slab or metal plate. Created in 1930, these early lithographs accompanied a book of poetry by Tristan Tzara and jumpstarted Miro's lifelong love of the lithography technique. From from 1954 to 1958, Miro nearly gave up painting altogether to focus on these prints, earning him the Grand Prize for Graphic Work at the Venice Biennale in 1954. Some of Miro's lithographs, such as his collaborations with the fine art publisher Derrire le Miroir, recreate his paintings on paper, while many others, such as his 1944 Barcelona series, are entirely new designs that explore the possibilities of the lithography technique. Ships from Las Vegas, NV.
