Joan Miro-Plate III (Lithographe IV)

Plate III (1981) is an original lithograph by Joan Miró from the portfolio Miró Lithographe IV, the fourth and final volume of the landmark series documenting his complete lithographic output. Published in an unnumbered edition, this horizontal composition showcases Miró’s late graphic style at its most distilled: fluid black contours, saturated color passages, and the totemic figures that populate his final decade of printmaking. The landscape-format sheet — wider than it is tall — gives the work an expansive, almost mural-like presence within its frame.

Catalogued as Mourlot 1257 / Cramer 249, this impression is a well-documented work from one of the most thoroughly catalogued print oeuvres of the twentieth century.
