About the Item

Joan Miro (Spain, 1893-1983) 'Maravillas con variaciones acrósticas en el jardín de Miró (cobertura para el estuche)', 1975 lithograph on canvas 21.5 x 32.25 x 21 in. (54 x 82 cm.) Edition of 1500 Unframed ID: MIR2001-014 It is documented in Cramer, P (1992). Miró Litographer V (1972-1975). Maeght Éditeur, pp 162-163. No. 1051. Artwork history: At the end of 1971 Rafael Alberti wrote from Rome to Joan Miró in the following terms “(…) I think I have news that you liked my folder dedicated to Picasso and that you are willing to do something similar with me. But I would make some special poems for you, which I would also calligraph, and you would engrave them…” After Miró's acceptance, numerous correspondence took place between the two to try to better define their joint project, which goes beyond illustrating poetry with an engraving. Miró talks about making a musical accompaniment to finally finish it with a strong, almost brutal note while Alberti cannot help but dedicate his text to the wonderful youthful impulse so exemplary and unique of Joan Miró, a poem that will lend itself to a certain typographic movement that could be intertwined with the lithographs. In 1973 Alberti had already decided on the title of his book: Wonders and Acrostic Variations in Miró's Garden (although this would still undergo a small variation) and sent Miró a complete manuscript copy. During 1975, Wonders with acrostic variations in Miró's garden by Rafael Alberti will be published, which presents twenty lithographs by Joan Miró.
