Produced by Llibreria Catalonia under the direction of Antonio Lopez Llausas, with the close involvement of Joan Prats and Josep Lluis Sert—two of the most influential Catalan cultural figures of the twentieth century—the album embodied a vision of Catalonia as an active, forward-looking center of international avant-garde thought, connected intellectually and aesthetically to Paris, yet deeply rooted in Mediterranean identity. Unlike standard periodicals, D'Aci i d’Alla functioned as a hybrid fine art album, design object, and critical journal, integrating essays, photography, architecture, poetry, and original artworks in a unified modernist aesthetic. The 1934 Numero Extraordinari, devoted to twentieth-century art, was particularly ambitious in scope: it surveyed the newest movements in modernism while highlighting Catalonia’s unique contributions to the international avant-garde.

Completed printing on April 30, 1974. About the Publication: Ceramiques de miro et artigas (Miro and Artigas Ceramics) is a landmark 1974 album published by Maeght Editeur that documents and celebrates the long, fertile collaboration between Joan Miro and the master ceramicist Josep Llorens Artigas. The album serves as both an artistic tribute and an archival record of their shared exploration into the expressive possibilities of fire, clay, pigment, and surface. Maeght Editeur—renowned for its exceptional production standards and its close relationships with leading modern artists—commissioned original lithographs specifically for the album, each reflecting the tactile, gestural, and symbolic vocabulary that Miro developed through decades of experimentation in ceramics. Printed by Arte, Adrien Maeght in Paris, the production exemplifies the publisher’s commitment to uniting fine art printing with rigorous documentation. The album honors one of the most important artist–artisan partnerships of the 20th century, capturing the profound synergy between Miro’s visionary abstraction and Artigas’s mastery of traditional and experimental ceramic processes. As with all major Maeght publications, the album was conceived not merely as a catalogue but as a complete work of art, synthesizing text, image, and craftsmanship into an enduring contribution to the history of modernist printmaking and book arts. 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 dArt 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. Miros 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, Miros 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 23561250 GBP (approximately 37 million USD) at Sothebys, London, on June 19, 2012.

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.

Completed printing on April 30, 1974. About the Publication: Ceramiques de miro et artigas (Miro and Artigas Ceramics) is a landmark 1974 album published by Maeght Editeur that documents and celebrates the long, fertile collaboration between Joan Miro and the master ceramicist Josep Llorens Artigas. The album serves as both an artistic tribute and an archival record of their shared exploration into the expressive possibilities of fire, clay, pigment, and surface. Maeght Editeur—renowned for its exceptional production standards and its close relationships with leading modern artists—commissioned original lithographs specifically for the album, each reflecting the tactile, gestural, and symbolic vocabulary that Miro developed through decades of experimentation in ceramics. Printed by Arte, Adrien Maeght in Paris, the production exemplifies the publisher’s commitment to uniting fine art printing with rigorous documentation. The album honors one of the most important artist–artisan partnerships of the 20th century, capturing the profound synergy between Miro’s visionary abstraction and Artigas’s mastery of traditional and experimental ceramic processes. As with all major Maeght publications, the album was conceived not merely as a catalogue but as a complete work of art, synthesizing text, image, and craftsmanship into an enduring contribution to the history of modernist printmaking and book arts. 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 dArt 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. Miros 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, Miros 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 23561250 GBP (approximately 37 million USD) at Sothebys, London, on June 19, 2012.

Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. I, No. 1, published by Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, 1937 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.

Its integration of image, text, and philosophy created a dialogue between art and literature that elevated the modern art book to new aesthetic heights. Today, Derriere le Miroir remains one of the most sought-after and historically significant art publications, prized by collectors and scholars alike for its craftsmanship, influence, and its role in defining the visual language of 20th-century modernism. The Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence continues to honor this legacy through exhibitions and archival preservation of the series, affirming Derriere le Miroir's enduring place in the history of modern art and fine art publishing. About the Artist: Joan Miro (1893–1983) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramicist whose imaginative, dreamlike vision helped spearhead the Surrealist movement and left an indelible mark on modern art. Born in Barcelona and deeply rooted in Catalan culture, Miro moved to Paris in the early 1920s where his playful shapes, cosmic motifs, and childlike yet sophisticated abstractions broke new ground alongside the great innovators of his time. His artistic dialogue aligned with contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Jackson Pollock, Georges Braque, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, each of whom challenged the conventions of form, color, and symbolism. Miro distilled these ideas into a uniquely poetic visual vocabulary—birds, stars, and bold spectral forms emerging from flat planes of color—that has inspired scores of artists and continues to influence modern and contemporary masters including Banksy, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, and Jasper Johns. His works are represented in leading museums worldwide, including MoMA, the Guggenheim, the Tate, and the Centre Pompidou, and remain highly sought after by collectors. The highest price ever paid for a Joan Miro artwork is approximately $37.06 million USD, achieved in June 2012 at Sotheby’s London for Peinture (Etoile Bleue) (1927). Joan Miro Oiseau...
