1959

About the Item

The 1959 original engraving by Joan Miró, titled "Composition bleu et rouge" and created in 1938, is a captivating piece featured in the renowned art publication, XXe Siècle. Miró's work in this engraving showcases his distinctive style and his exploration of color, form, and abstraction. "Composition bleu et rouge" is emblematic of Miró's artistic evolution during the late 1930s, a period marked by his experimentation with surrealism and abstraction. In this engraving, Miró employs bold, sweeping lines and vibrant hues of blue and red to create a dynamic and visually compelling composition. The juxtaposition of these two primary colors generates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to engage with the artwork on multiple levels. As an engraving on linoleum, this piece demonstrates Miró's innovative approach to printmaking. The linoleum surface provides a unique texture and depth to the composition, adding a tactile dimension to the work. Miró's mastery of the engraving process is evident in the precision and fluidity of his lines, as well as the richness of the colors he employs. Featured in XXe Siècle, a renowned art revue that showcased the work of leading modern artists, "Composition bleu et rouge" represents Miró's continued influence and significance within the art world. Through its expressive forms and vibrant colors, this engraving remains a testament to Miró's enduring legacy and his profound impact on the development of modern art.

    Magnificent poster made in 1930 to promote Vermouth, an emblematic drink of the Alps, which was commonly called, as early as 1900 in the cafés of France, "Le Chambéry": the Savoyard city then became the French capital of Vermouth. At that time, cooked wines were reputed to be fortifying, curative and preventive to eliminate factory dust. Thus, in the 19th century, many vermouth factories were created in Savoy, particularly in Chambéry.

    By Salvador Dalí­
    Located in Miami, FL
    Salvador Dali (Spain, 1904-1989) 'Jinete apocalíptico', 1974 dry point, etching on paper 22.3 x 30.4 in. (56.5 x 77 cm.) Edition of 175 Unframed ID: DAL2001-016 Hand-signed by author ______________________________________________________ Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech was a Spanish painter, sculptor, engraver, set designer and writer of the 20th century. An artist associated with surrealism, he is one of the most important figures in 20th century art, representing the archetype of the spectacular contemporary multifaceted artist. He develops his creative activity in various fields through the most diverse cultural formulas: painting, written media, performing arts, cinema, or public appearances in the press, radio, cinema, advertising, television, etc. Master of the most refined pictorial technique, especially drawing, along with various aesthetic languages - from impressionism, cubism, purism or late ultraism with Dadaist edges to the most radical surrealism, hyperrealism, pop-art or art optical—, will absorb every influence that is useful to build its own and personal language, halfway between technical tradition and thematic avant-garde. His paranoid-critical method is his main contribution to the surrealist movement and to the history of art as a new creative model with which Dalí's theories acquire theoretical entity - thanks to the successive interpretations that the Empordà artist made of his readings of Dalí's work. Sigmund Freud—and practice, applying it as a revealing liquid of images that can be represented plastically through multiple images, anamorphisms, relational mirages, irrational and heterogeneous symbolic images, pseudohallucinations, childhood memories, atavisms, obsessive ideas, etc., and recreating a polyphonic method capable of critically relating any visual or sensitive experience. With his method, Dalí makes paranoid delirium a whole mode of expression of an art that introduces us to the concrete irrationality that inhabits every creative process, constructing not only his works, but also his own character. as an artist. In Dalí, the relationship between his work and his personal history becomes evident. Much of the most significant biographical facts for the artist are implicitly or explicitly present in the content of his work and are the explanation of his complex and contradictory personality. In 1910, at the age of 6, he was enrolled by his father in the Hispano-French school of the Immaculate Conception of Figueres, where he learned French, his future language of culture. Dalí's first contact with Impressionism occurred in 1916, when he spent some time on the outskirts of Figueres, specifically at the Molí de la Torre estate, property of the Pichot family (intellectuals and artists), where he was the collection of the painter Ramón Pichot. In 1919 he participated for the first time in a group exhibition in the halls of the Societat de Concerts, and with a group of friends from the institute founded the magazine Studium, in which he published his first writings. A year later he moved to Madrid to study at the School of Fine Arts. In 1922 he won his first prize at the Concurs-exposició d'obres d'art originals d'students, held at the Galeries Dalmau (Barcelona). This same year he attended the School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving in Madrid (Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando), and lived in the Student Residence, where he became friends with prominent personalities such as Luis Buñuel, Federico García Lorca, Pedro Garfias , Eugenio Montes, or Pepín Bello. However, a year later he was expelled from the Academy for his rebellious and revolutionary character, accused of leading a protest. It would be in 1927 when his surrealist period began, after having traveled to the Netherlands and France, meeting Flemish painters and Picasso. In Paris itself, in 1929, through Joan Miró, he came into contact with a group of surrealists headed...
