Joan Miro No Sign 8 Abstract Painting Lithograph Print Interior Gift Collection Housewarming Gift Opening Gift Framed

The abstract painting "No Sign 8" created by Joan Miro as a lithograph print is an original lithograph created by Joan Miro himself during his lifetime. It is an abstract lithograph print created for a catalogue of prints called a catalogue raisonné. It is an abstract painting that was originally attached to a book-type print. A print signed by Joan Miro can cost hundreds of thousands of yen, and in some cases even over a million yen, but an original lithograph without a signature can still be purchased easily. This abstract painting "No Sign 8" looks different depending on the viewer. To me it looks like an abstract painting of a mischievous child turning his head to the side and laughing with his big yellow mouth open. The object that looks like a kokeshi doll painted in the lower right corner is also somehow cute. I feel that there is immeasurable depth in the works of Joan Miro, the master of abstract painting born in Spain. Joan Miro Profile Born in Barcelona, ​​Spain in 1893.

In 1976, he opened the Joan Miro Foundation Institute of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, ​​Spain. In 1983, he died in Palma, Mallorca. Using the technique of automatism, he developed a fantastical style of painting, and also worked on objects and collages. As seen in his series of works "Constellations" created during World War II, he made full use of hieroglyphic figures such as "stars," "women," and "birds" to create paintings filled with childlike innocence. It is often pointed out that Joan Miro's oil paintings and lithograph prints are deeply and intimately connected to the region and the scenery of Catalonia. During his second visit to Japan, he collaborated with Shuzo Takiguchi on a collection of poems and paintings.
