JOAN MIRÓ I FERRÀ (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma de Mallorca, 1983). Five drawings, 1963. Set of five ink, wax and watercolor drawings on pages and double-pages of "Album 19". Each of the drawings is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by ADOM. One of them is signed. Size: 30,5 x 22 cm (2); 44 x 30,5 cm (3). Set of five drawings by Joan Miró on pages from "Album 19", a portfolio of lithographs containing an essay by Joan Perucho. This is the booklet of the exhibition held at the Sala Gaspar Gallery in Barcelona, which took place between 26 October and 15 November 1963. Joan Miró trained in Barcelona and made his individual debut in 1918 at the Galeries Dalmau. In 1920 he moved to Paris and met Picasso, Raynal, Max Jacob, Tzara and the Dadaists. There, under the influence of the surrealist poets and painters, he gradually matured his style; he tried to transpose surrealist poetry into visual art, based on memory, fantasy and the irrational. His third exhibition in Paris in 1928 was his first great triumph: the Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired two of his works. He returned to Spain in 1941, and that same year the museum devoted a retrospective exhibition to him, which was to be his definitive international consecration. Throughout his life he received numerous awards, such as the Grand Prizes at the Venice Biennale and the Guggenheim Foundation in Venice, the Carnegie Prize for Painting in Venice, the Gold Medals of the Generalitat de Catalunya and of the Fine Arts, and was awarded honorary doctorates by the universities of Harvard and Barcelona. His work can currently be seen at the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the MoMA in New York, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the National Gallery in Washington, the MNAM in Paris and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo.
