D'Aci i d'Allà 1934 Christmas Issue Containing Figures davant el mar

1934réf. 1529Llibreria Catalonia: np 1934. 1st Edition. Very Good. FIRST EDITION with the EXTREMELY RARE AND SOUGHT-AFTER POCHOIR BY MIRÓ From Here and There: Figures by the Sea; one of only five pochoirs created in his career. "After their first encounter Miró and the architect Sert continued to meet often through the group of painters sculptors and art critics of the cultural group known as ADLAN 1932-1936." Through the joint efforts of ADLAN and GATCPAC a group of architects active from 1930 to 1936 came "the most representative publication of that period: a special issue of the magazine D'Aci i d'Allà focusing on twentieth-century art-the 1934 Christmas issue-directly supervised by Joan Prats and Josep Lluís Sert and with the participation of Joan Miró in the first instance of a collaboration between the artist and the architect . The result of this joint effort was far more than a mere revision of contemporary visual arts; it became a guidebook to the new trends and to the avant-garde aesthetic providing information both about the art world and about the latest advances in the fields of housing and construction. Joan Miró was the main protagonist of the issue of D'Aci i d'Allà directed by Sert once again being praised as a contemporary primitive. In designing the cover and the famous pochoir specifically created for this issue Miró managed to convey the greatest expressive force with minimal resources using only red yellow and black against the white paper background" Vecchierini 46-48.

Constellations

1959réf. 18109New York: Pierre Matisse 1959. FIRST EDITION. Complete with 22 pochoir reproductions after gouaches by the artist on Arches wove paper with the title page text in French by André Breton table of contents and justification signed by the artist in blue ink and the author in red ink. Complete with 2 original lithographs sheet size 17 ½ x 14” image: 12 x 9 3/4” hand-numbered and signed by Miró in pencil at lower margin each framed. The pochoirs are laid into their original paper folders all in the original illustrated portfolio housed in its beige linen box illustrated in black by Miró on front cover and spine; box has been repaired. First edition of this luxurious publication. No. 109 of 150 copies which include the 2 signed and numbered lithographs the total edition was 384. Miró began the series of gouaches reproduced in Constellations on September 21 1940 in Varengeuville Normandy where he was exiled from Francoist Spain. He created ten of the gouaches before the invasion of France by German troops pushed him to flee the country with his wife and daughter. He completed the twenty-third and final gouache of the series on September 12 1941. The village where he stayed was subject to a blackout and that fact prompted Miro's most luminous and affecting series of paintings the Constellations. Miró was originally in discussions with MoMA to exhibit Constellations but it was ultimately with the New York gallery owner Pierre Matisse that the complete series of 22 gouaches would be exhibited Miró having wished to keep the twenty-third in early 1945. It was not until 1959 when Matisse decided to publish reproductions. André Breton had been inspired by the series and wrote poems to accompany each work of art. Of the 384 copies produced only the first 150 included the 2 additional signed and numbered lithographs. In his preface to this edition Breton emphasized the historical significance. With the background of war and the occupation of France these works symbolized the triumphal “resistance” of art and the spirit of man in the face of the menace. They became the first new works from Europe to be exhibited in America following the ending of hostilities. The 22 works are arranged in the chronological order of their creation thus respecting one of the instructions given by the artist at the time of the New York exhibition. This arrangement was so important to Miró that as early as 1957 he insisted that each one indicate the date and place it was created. This information is reproduced on the back of the gouaches with a facsimile drawing. Pierre Matisse unknown books
