This extraordinary work from Miro epitomizes his crucial shift from the realist art that characterized his previous canvases to the painting of imaginative space. Miro’s sudden transition from descriptive realism to surrealism took place shortly after the birth of the surrealist movement in Paris in 1924. The artist was captivated by the pictorial possibilities that surrealism offered with its insistence on the subconscious in the world of dreams. He began to produce highly experimental canvases, populating his paintings with imaginary ideograms on the subconscious in the world of dreams. Producing several highly experimental canvases, he populated his works with imaginary ideograms.

Galerie Filali is pleased to collaborate with our personal friend Galerie Mourlot, New York, to present a collection of rare lithographs from legendary Parisian printing house Atelier Mourlot.

Founded in Paris in 1852, Atelier Mourlot has been synonymous with fine art lithography for over 150 years. From 1930, under the direction of the founder’s grandson, Fernand Mourlot, leading artists were invited to the studio to collaborate on traditional limestone lithography. For painters like Joan Miro, the medium provided an exciting new form of expression.

Each individual work of art comes with a Certificate of Provenance, signed, dated, stamped, and numbered by Eric Mourlot. Stored in a clear protective sleeve accompanying your piece, this Certificate of Provenance is recognized by all the major auction houses should you care to resell at any point. This ensures the validity of its origin and its being in the Mourlot archives since its production.
