{"product_id":"ap_06081","title":"Tête et étoile 1961","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"145\" data-end=\"492\"\u003eThe 1961 lithographic poster \"Tête et Étoile\" by Joan Miró is a remarkable example of the artist’s playful yet profound surrealist vocabulary. Known for his dreamlike compositions, biomorphic forms, and spontaneous brushwork, Miró transforms the canvas into a realm where the cosmic and the organic collide in poetic harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"879\"\u003eIn this artwork, Miró employs a minimal yet striking palette, featuring bold black, red, yellow, blue, and green, arranged in seemingly spontaneous bursts of energy. The title, meaning \"Head and Star\", hints at the surrealist idea of connecting the celestial and the earthly, a recurring theme in Miró’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1289\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"1013\"\u003eThe large black-outlined forms resemble abstracted heads or eyes, evoking childlike innocence yet deep symbolic meaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1160\"\u003eThe small, spindly star shape—a signature motif in Miró’s universe—floats above, appearing like a celestial entity or an insect in motion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1289\"\u003eThe vibrant patches of color, seemingly applied with an impulsive gesture, add dynamism and contrast to the composition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1773\"\u003eMiró was deeply influenced by automatism, a technique associated with Surrealism that sought to bypass conscious control in favor of spontaneous, subconscious creation. \"Tête et Étoile\" exemplifies this approach, as the elements appear as if they were created instinctively, without premeditation. His work is often described as \"poetry in paint,\" with each element conveying a sense of movement, rhythm, and emotional resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"2274\"\u003eThis 1961 poster is a highly desirable piece for collectors of Mid-Century Modern and Surrealist art. As a lithographic print, it served as a means of making Miró’s work more accessible while still maintaining the vibrancy and texture of his original compositions. Whether viewed as a playful abstraction or a deep metaphysical exploration, \"Tête et Étoile\" remains a testament to Miró’s genius in bridging dreamlike fantasy and modernist abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbstract - Literature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the mirror\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaeght\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition, creases from printing\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miro Joan","offers":[{"title":"38 x 84 \/ A","offer_id":51053814743367,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_06081Insta2.jpg?v=1741972633","url":"https:\/\/galerie1881.fr\/en\/products\/ap_06081","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
