Joan Miro, Untitled I and II, from Cahiers d art, 1934
Located in Southampton, NY
These exquisite lithographs and pochoirs by Joan Miro (1893–1983), titled Sans titre I et II (Untitled I and II), originate from the landmark 1934 album Cahiers d'art, Nos. 1–4, 9e annee. Published by Editions des Cahiers d'Art, Paris, under the direction of Christian Zervos, Editeur, Paris, 1934, and printed by L'Imprimerie Crete, Paris, 1934, the works reflect Miros early Surrealist vocabulary, defined by biomorphic form, lyrical spontaneity, and a radiant chromatic sensibility uniquely suited to the pochoir technique. Executed as a lithographs and pochoirs on velin paper, these works measure 12.75 x 19 inches overall; 12.75 x 9.5 inches each. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. Printed by L'Imprimerie Crete, Paris. Artwork Details: Artist: Joan Miro (1893–1983) Title: Sans titre I et II (Untitled I and II), from the album Cahiers d'art, Nos. 1–4, 9e annee, 1934 Medium: Lithographs and pochoirs on velin paper Dimensions: 12.75 x 19 inches overall; 12.75 x 9.5 inches each (32.39 x 48.26 cm overall; 32.39 x 24.13 cm each) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1934 Publisher: Editions des Cahiers d'Art, Paris; under the direction of Christian Zervos, Editeur Printer: L'Imprimerie Crete, Paris Catalogue raisonne reference: Dupin, Jacques, and Joan Miro. Miro Engraver 1928–1960. Rizzoli, 1984, illustration 14–15. Cramer, Patrick. Joan Miro: The Illustrated Books: Catalogue Raisonne. Patrick Cramer, 1989, illustration 3. Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the album Cahiers d'art, Nos. 1–4, 9e annee, 1934, published by Editions des Cahiers d'Art, Paris About the Publication: Cahiers d'art, Nos. 1–4, 9e annee, 1934, occupies an extraordinary place in the history of modern art publications, embodying the intellectual ambitions, editorial rigor, and avant-garde sensibility that defined Christian Zervos and his legendary journal Cahiers d'Art, founded in Paris in 1926 and widely regarded as one of the most influential engines of modernist thought in the twentieth century. The 1934 album brings together essays, critical writings, archaeological studies, photographic documentation, and original artworks with a level of scholarship, aesthetic refinement, and international perspective unmatched by any contemporary publication. Zervos conceived Cahiers d'Art not as a magazine but as a hybrid form—at once an academic review, a fine art album, a forum for emerging theory, and a platform through which the newest developments in painting, sculpture, architecture, ethnography, and ancient art could enter meaningful dialogue. The 1934 volume marks one of the most significant prewar issues due to its inclusion of original Joan Miro pochoirs...

Joan Miro, The Air, from Verve, Revue Artistique, 1938
Located in Southampton, NY
This exquisite lithograph by Joan Miro (1893–1983), titled L'air (The Air), from Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. I, No. 3, originates from the 1938 issue published by Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, under the direction of Teriade, Editeur, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, 1938. This lyrical and atmospheric composition embodies Miro's fascination with the invisible rhythms of nature and the poetry of movement. L'air captures the ethereal and weightless essence of the natural world through his fluid linework and organic forms, evoking a sense of freedom and transformation. The work reflects Miro's deep belief in the interconnectedness of all living things and his pursuit of an art that transcends material boundaries to reach the spiritual realm. Created during one of the artist's most innovative periods, this piece demonstrates the harmony between abstraction and imagination that defines his unique visual language. Executed as a lithograph on velin du Marais paper, this work measures 14 x 10.5 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of the Mourlot Freres atelier, renowned for its collaborations with the leading modernists of the 20th century. Artwork Details: Artist: Joan Miro (1893–1983) Title: L'air (The Air), from Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. I, No. 3, 1938 Medium: Lithograph on velin du Marais paper Dimensions: 14 x 10.5 inches Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued Date: 1938 Publisher: Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, under the direction of Teriade, Editeur, Paris Printer: Mourlot Freres, Paris Catalogue raisonne references: Dupin, Jacques, et al. Miro Graveur. D. Lelong, 1984, illustration 1310. Miro, Joan, et al. Joan Miro: Lithographs. Leon Amiel, 1972, illustration 6. Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. I, No. 3, published by Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, 1938 About the Publication: Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire was one of the most influential art periodicals of the 20th century, founded in Paris in 1937 by the visionary Greek-born publisher Teriade (Stratis Eleftheriades). Conceived as a synthesis of art and literature, Verve brought together the greatest modern artists and writers of its time—Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Georges Braque, Joan Miro, Fernand Leger, and others—alongside poets and philosophers such as Paul Eluard, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Each issue was a work of art in itself, luxuriously printed by master lithographers such as Mourlot Freres and produced in collaboration with leading typographers and designers. Verve became a platform for avant-garde creativity, publishing original lithographs and essays that reflected the evolving spirit of modernism. Matisse collaborated closely with Teriade from the magazine's inception, producing some of its most iconic issues, including those devoted to his paper cut-outs. The final Verve issue of 1958, which featured La Tristesse du Roi and the Nu Bleu series, stands as a testament to Matisse's enduring genius and to the publication's legacy as the definitive meeting of art, poetry, and printing craftsmanship in 20th-century France. About the Artist: Joan Miro (1893–1983) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose visionary imagination and lyrical abstraction made him one of the most influential and beloved artists of the 20th century. Born in Barcelona, Miro drew inspiration from Catalan folk art, Romanesque frescoes, and the luminous landscapes of Mont-roig del Camp, developing a deep connection to nature that infused his work with vitality and symbolism. After formal training at the Escola d'Art in Barcelona, he absorbed the lessons of Post-Impressionism and Cubism before moving to Paris in the early 1920s, where he became a leading figure in the Surrealist movement. There, Miro forged a personal visual language of biomorphic shapes, floating symbols, and radiant color harmonies that reflected both spontaneity and spiritual depth. In creative dialogue with peers such as Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he helped revolutionize modern art by dissolving the boundaries between abstraction and dream imagery. Miro's inventive approach extended far beyond painting, embracing sculpture, ceramics, and monumental public commissions that redefined how art could interact with space and emotion. His expressive freedom and gestural abstraction profoundly influenced later artists including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Antoni Tapies, and Joan Mitchell, inspiring generations who sought to merge instinct, color, and imagination. Today, Miro's work remains a cornerstone of modernism, prized by collectors and celebrated in major museums worldwide. His highest auction record was achieved by Peinture (Etoile Bleue) (1927), which sold for £23,561,250 (approximately $37 million) at Sotheby's, London, on June 19, 2012.

Original 1933 Italian travel poster promotes Trento - ENIT Italian Railways
Located in PARIS, FR
This magnificent original 1933 Italian travel poster promotes Trento, issued by ENIT (Ente Nazionale Italiano per il Turismo) to celebrate this Alpine city’s cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. The poster features an elegant and detailed illustration of the Monumento a Dante, the imposing statue of Dante Alighieri inaugurated in 1896, framed by a lush landscaped park and set against the dramatic backdrop of the Dolomite foothills. The harmonious composition bathes Trento in the gentle warm light of a late afternoon, with pastel pink clouds illuminating the scene and a palette of bright florals and deep green conifers guiding the viewer’s gaze toward the monument. Printed by the renowned Chappuis printing house in Bologna, the poster is marked with the ENIT emblem at lower left, signifying its official purpose to promote Italy’s regional cities and historic sites. The stylised border and typographic simplicity evoke the Art Deco aesthetic popular in Italian graphic design during the 1930s, combining classical elegance with modern clarity. Trento, historically a meeting point of Italian and Germanic cultures, was in the interwar period developing its tourism identity as the “Gateway to the Dolomites.” This poster captures that strategy, celebrating both the city’s urban sophistication and its natural surroundings.

A fine, richly-inked impression, on off-white tissue-thin Japan paper; the full sheet with margins (1 5/8 to 2 1/2 inches); a small paper blemish in the upper right margin, away from the image, otherwise in excellent condition. A scarce, artist-printed, hand-signed proof impression before the published edition. Matted to museum standards, unframed. Image size 5 1/2 x 3 3/4 inches (140 x 95 mm); sheet size 9 5/8 x 7 1/8 inches (244 x 181 mm). From Lynd Ward’s book of illustrations without words, 'Madman’s Drum', Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith, New York, 1930. Reproduced in 'Storyteller Without Words, the Wood Engravings of Lynd Ward', Harry N. Abrams, New York, 1974. ABOUT THE ARTIST Lynd Ward is acknowledged as one of America’s foremost wood engravers and book illustrators of the first half of the twentieth century. His innovative use of narrative printmaking as a stand-alone storytelling vehicle was uniquely successful in reaching a broad audience. The powerful psychological intensity of his work, celebrated for its dynamic design, technical precision, and compelling dramatic content, finds resonance in the literature of Poe, Melville, and Hawthorne. Like these classic American writers, Ward was concerned with the themes of man’s inner struggles and the role of the subconscious in determining his destiny. An artist of social conscience during the Great Depression and World War II, he infused his graphic images with his unique brand of social realism, deftly portraying the problems that challenged the ideals of American society. The son of a Methodist preacher, Lynd Ward, moved from Chicago to Massachusetts at an early age. He graduated from the Teachers College of Columbia University, New York, in 1926, where he studied illustration and graphic arts. He married May Yonge McNeer in 1936 and left for Europe for their honeymoon in Eastern Europe. After four months, they settled in Leipzig, where Ward studied at the National Academy of Graphic Arts and Bookmaking. Inspired by Belgian expressionist artist Frans Masereel's graphic novel ‘The Sun,’ and another graphic novel by the German artist Otto Nückel, ‘Destiny,’ he determined to create his own "wordless" novel. Upon his return to America, Ward completed his first book, ‘God's Man: A Novel in Woodcuts,’ published in 1929. ‘Gods’ Man’ was a great success for its author and publisher and was reprinted four times in 1930, including a British edition. This book and several which followed it, ‘Madman’s Drum,’ 1930, ‘Wild Pilgrimage...

He spent his early years living in Rome, Siena, and Florence and was professionally formed through university courses in art and medicine, museums, and the Academy Belle Arti. He begins to study art in 1912 with a special preference for Goya, Rembrandt, and Fattori. His success as an engraver arrives in 1924 with his exhibitions at Bragaglia’s House of Art and Casa Palazzi di Roma (70 etchings). In 1925 he participates in the II Roman Biennial and then in the Venice Biennial from 1928 to 1936. He is considered, along with Morandi, the greatest Italian engraver. His expositive work continues with intensity in the post-war period with one-man exhibitions in both Italy and abroad. His last one-man exhibition takes place at the XXXI Venice Biennial and at the National Chalcography in Rome in 1962. Bartolini lives through his era in complete liberty, dedicating himself to painting, to art criticism, to literature and teaching. This intellectual and artistic autonomy is well reflected in his engravings and it is exactly because of this characteristic of intellectual autonomy that he has never really belonged to the Scuola Romana although he was very attached to it because he frequented the Roman environment and it’s artists who he would often exhibit with. His literary production is gathered the volumes Polemiche (1940), Credo d’artista (1945), Il Fallimento della Pittura (1948) and Poesie 1911-1963(1964). As a critic, he collaborates with numerous magazines such as “Il Selvaggio”, “Quadrivio”, “La Tribuna”, “L’Ambrosiano” etc. After the war, “Bicycle Thieves...

1935 Original Art Deco poster by Cassandre - Dubo, Dubon, Dubonnet
Located in PARIS, FR
"In triptych form, the mythical Dubo, Dubon, Dubonnet is in a way the ancestor of the animated gif! A simple, poetic visual narrative wrapped in a humorous tone. A silhouette darkens as the Dubo, Dubon, Dubonnet sequence progresses. Some say that it's these gestures and features that have given rise to our image of the aperitif. Cheers, Cassandra! Today, the Evin law would forbid this type of alcohol promotion, but that hasn't stopped this poster from becoming a cult image, taken up and quoted by every generation of graphic designers. Dubonnet is a brand of vermouth flavored mainly with cinchona, available in red and white. It was created by French chemist Joseph Dubonnet. It was in Paris, near the future site of the Garnier opera house, that Joseph Dubonnet developed his cinchona wine in 1846. To combat malaria, he developed this bitter-tasting medicine, which he masked with a strong-tasting decoction of herbs and spices. Soldiers in the Foreign Legion...
