FEATURED : JOAN MIRO
Joan Miró was among the first artists to develop automatic drawing as a way to undo previous established techniques in painting, and thus, with Andre Masson represented the beginning of Surrealism as an art movement. However, Miró chose not to become an official member of the Surrealists in order to be free to experiment with other artistic styles without compromising his position within the group. He pursued his own interests in the art world, ranging from automatic drawing and surrealism, to expressionism and color field painting.
Description: Hard bound catalogue raisonne of the illustrated books, with dust jacket in publishers red slipcase, as issued. 675 pages profusely illustrated with reproductions of the lithographs and engravings of Miro help create this definitive and indispensable reference work on his books. 1540 plates with 1300 in full color. An exhaustive work with 262 works each described in detail. A very nice copy in almost perfect condition.
