Joan Miro - Abstract Composition - Offset Litho

Joan Miro produced a very personal form of abstract art that was to influence a number of modern artists that followed on shortly after. Abstract Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock as well as Colour Field painters like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman would make use of his advancements in their own careers. Having passed away as recently as 1983, his artwork still feels relatively fresh and will no-doubt inspire others in the near future. His passion for multiple disciplines also helps to open young artists' minds as to what they could get involved in, going beyond just the standard fare of oil painting. Additionally, he left another highly significant addition to the impressive back catalogue of work to have come from the Catalan region, marking him out alongside other greats such as Salvador Dali and the architect Antoni Gaudi.

The artist was also passionate about modern art, claiming to have declared war on traditional art. This helped to lay the foundations for those who followed, encouraging them to pursue these new ideas and techniques and not to be dissuaded by those who considered it to be without any artistic merit. This was important as voices against modern art remained strong in some quarters, particularly in Europe, right up until around the 1960s. The present day is far more open minded and forgiving about different ideas, allowing them to co-exist, if not always in the same galleries. Whilst his original pieces are spread all across the world, the two main locations to view some of his most famous artworks would be MoMA and Fundació Joan Miró, with the artist having gifted a number of items to both in his later years.

This piece is freshly framed and backed. Ready to hang!
