Maeght Éditeur, Joan Miró Lithographs vol. Miro Homage to Rimbaud (Hommage à Rimbaud), 1962, is fully documented and referenced in the below catalogue raisonnés and texts (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the final sale of the work):ġ. Printed by Mourlot, Paris, this lithograph was created for the portfolio Arthur Rimbaud Seen by Contemporary Painters, which contains 9 original prints by Arp, Braque, Cocteau, Ernst, Giacometti, Valentine Hugo, Picasso, Villon, and Miró. A rare proof, one of only a few impressions that exist on Moulin Richard de Bas color paper, originally reserved for the collaborators, this work is aside from the numbered edition of 97 on Rives vellum and the edition of 7 lettered A-G on Japanese paper. This exquisite piece perfectly encapsulates Rimbaud’s free-spiritedness and tendency towards wanderlust, as colorful forms and black lines roam throughout the composition, guiding our gaze.Ĭreated in 1962, this color lithograph on Moulin Richard de Base color paper is hand signed by Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983) in pencil in the lower right. As such, Miró was a great admirer of his work. Rimbaud was renowned for his inventive use of form and language, and his works greatly influenced the Surrealist movement. The composition remains balanced amidst the somewhat free-flowing forms, while thin black lines dance throughout.

Bright patches of red, green, yellow, blue, and purple-pink overlap and intermingle, relaying the impression that we have just walked into a lush, sunny field.
