JOAN MIRÓ I FERRÀ (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma de Mallorca, 1983). "United Nations Peace-Keeping Operations, 1980. Lithograph on Super Alfa paper. Copy 190/1500. Attached certificate of authenticity issued by World Federation of United Nations in 1980. Framed in museum glass. Presents dry stamp of World Federation of United Nations, and commemorative philatelic stamp. Signed in plate and numbered. Measurements: 28,5 x 21,7 cm. Joan Miró is formed in Barcelona, and debuts individually in 1918, in the Dalmau Galleries. In 1920 he moves to Paris and meets Picasso, Raynal, Max Jacob, Tzara and the Dadaists. There, under the influence of surrealist poets and painters, he matures his style; he tries to transpose surrealist poetry to the visual, 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 dedicated a retrospective to him that would be his definitive international consecration. Throughout his life he received numerous awards, such as the Grand Prizes of the Venice Biennale and the Guggenheim Foundation, the Carnegie Prize for Painting, the Gold Medals of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Fine Arts, and was named Doctor Honoris Causa by the universities of Harvard and Barcelona. His work can currently be seen at the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, as well as at 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. This lithograph shows us the most essentialist Miró in his search for minimal and suggestive forms. The ranges limited to a few colors applied on flat and shiny surfaces, combine to evoke the lyrical communion of man and the environment. Certificate of authenticity issued by World Federation of United Nations in 1980. Framed in museum glass.
