Derrière le Miroir, No. 128, published in June 1961, accompanies Joan Miró’s exhibition of mural paintings and includes original lithographic contributions by the artist. Issued by the renowned Paris gallery Maeght, this publication is part of the celebrated Derrière le Miroir series, known for its high-quality artist prints and critical essays.
Joan Miró (1893–1983) was a Spanish (Catalan) painter, sculptor, and printmaker, widely regarded as one of the leading figures of Surrealism and modern art. Born in Barcelona, Miró developed a highly distinctive visual language characterized by playful abstraction, biomorphic forms, and a poetic use of line and color. His work often merges dreamlike imagery with symbolic elements drawn from nature, the cosmos, and the subconscious.
Miró’s practice spans painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and printmaking, with lithography and etching playing a central role in his oeuvre. Throughout his career, he collaborated with major publishers such as Maeght, producing important illustrated books and editions, including the renowned Derrière le Miroir series. His work balances spontaneity and control, often appearing childlike while rooted in sophisticated compositional structure.
Internationally celebrated, Miró’s works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Fondation Maeght (France), and the Fundació Joan Miró (Barcelona). His influence extends across generations of artists, particularly in abstraction, automatic drawing, and symbolic visual language.
