Click here to subscribeJoan Miro (Spanish, 1893-1983) Mas De Proverbis - Original work of 1970 Lithograph - printed on synthetic canvas/vinyl Limited edition of 1500 copies Signed in plate and framed Reference catalogue raisonne Cramer 679a Comes with invoice no 2326 from Innocent Fine Art in Bristol 67 x 77 cm (26.5" x 30.5") Joan Miro was born on April 20, 1893 in Barcelona. Miró began his studies in art early, at the age of fourteen, at the art academy of Barcelona. In 1917 he had his first solo show, the same year he met both Pablo Picasso and Francis Picabia. Although Miró’s early work was influenced by several movements of the time, including Fauvism, Cubism, and Dadaism, he became most well known among the Surrealists, whose first manifesto he signed in 1924. Throughout his career, despite occasional returns to figuration or full abstraction, Miró remained consistently true to the core tenet of Surrealism: working with the intention of liberating the creative powers of the unconscious from the constraints of logic and reason. However, although André Breton, author of the Surrealist manifesto, wrote that Miró was “probably the most Surrealistic of us all,” Miró’s work still stood apart; he omitted the accessible, representational elements present in much of the work by other Surrealists. There is a charming sense of playfulness throughout much of Miró’s oeuvre, though the onset of the Spanish Civil War inspired more solemn and melancholic motifs in his work. The war eventually caused Miró to relocate to Paris in 1936, but by 1940 he was forced to return to Spain to escape the German occupation of France. It was during this period that he began to achieve international acclaim, and a large retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1941 solidified his reputation within the art world.

Miro enquires as to how Frey and her husband are doing and as to how her work is going, and remarks ´Je pense toujours a mon court sejour a Bruxelles et aux moments de bonne camaraderie que nous avons passe ensemble dans votre maison si accueillante. J´espere que je pourrai avoir le loisir de vous revoir pas dans un si long intervale que la derniere fois´ (Translation: ´I'm still thinking about my short stay in Brussels and the good times we spent together in your welcoming home. I hope that I will be able to have the leisure of seeing you again, not with such a long interval as last time´), further writing of his own recent work activities ´Je fais actuellement une grande exposition a Prague. I´y suis alle avec ma femme pour le vernissage; c´est un tres beau pays et l´on est merveilleusement bien recu. J´espere que je reussirai a faire quelque vente, ce qui ne serait pas mal´ (Translation: ´I am currently doing a big exhibition in Prague. I went there with my wife for the opening; it is a very beautiful country and one is wonderfully well received. I hope I will succeed in making some sales, which would not be bad´) and concluding ´Ma femme se joint a moi pour pour vous souhaiter a vous et a votre mari une bonne annee 1936 avec bonne sante et bon travail. Elle me prie aussi de vous dire qu´elle serait tres heureuse de faire votre connaissance un jour´ (Translation: ´My wife joins me in wishing you and your husband a happy New Year 1936 with good health and good work. She would also like me to tell you that she would be very happy to meet you one day´).

Stephen Willats, British b.1943 - Shift Box No. 2, 1964; wood, metal, paint, plexiglass, glass, and electronic component, with artist's label and instructions attached to the reverse, H72 x W72.5 x D18 cm (ARR) Note: It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that electrical items are professionally rewired for use. Stephen Willats is a seminal figure in British conceptual art. His work focuses on the intersection of art, sociology, and science. Through a diverse range of media including sculpture, photography, installation, furniture and clothing, Willats investigates how societal structures influence individual behavior, often inviting audience participation to blur the boundaries between observer and observed. Through these interdisciplinary approaches and community collaboration, Willats continues to challenge perceptions of art's role in shaping our understanding of the world. In 1965 Willats founded the magazine 'Control', encouraging discussions surrounding artist practices. The magazine has documented the works and ideas of many artists including Helen Chadwick, Tony Cragg and Anish Kapoor. The magazine is still in publication today. Earlier this year Victoria Miro exhibited ‘Stephen Willats: Time Tumbler’ which brought important works from the 1970s together with more recent works, celebrating Willats' eightieth birthday and his long-standing relationship with the gallery. His works are held in the collections of the Tate, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Henry Moore Institute. Exhibited: Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zürich, Stephen Willat's Languages of Dissent, 25th May to 18th August 2019, https://migrosmuseum.ch/werke/28920

Min WARDMAN (1951-2024) Golden Bird Acrylic and gold-leaf on canvas, studio stamp verso, 101.5cm x 76cm Min Wardman (1951-2024) Artist - Feminist - GardenerMin was born in Yorkshire in 1951, her mother an artist, her father a civil engineer. After a comprehensive education she was awarded an exhibition in Birmingham, followed by postgraduate studies in both History of Art and Painting in London.After graduating, Min found the London scene not to her taste, finding it too difficult to be taken seriously as a female painter. At the time, Devon was developing its Community Colleges and Min worked developing Textile and Printmaking courses across Bideford College, promoting modern ideas of Art and Art Education. After being promoted to Head of Department, teaching painting, ceramics, textiles and design, Min realised she wasn't having enough time to create her own work, so went part-time.Min studied art all her life. Landscape is a near constant within her work: there are stone monuments, myths and legends, birds, plants and other motifs which pass in and out of her paintings.Classical Art was a major influence, also the work of Rothko, Turner and Hokasai. Other favourite artists included Miro for block colour, Manrique for art and community planning and Picasso for returning to images and perseverance. Female artists, such as Barbara Hepworth, Rose Hilton, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Frida Kahlo and Tracey Emin were admired for their ability to keep working despite the patriarchy.Min was very private about her art, never exhibiting, rarely signing her work, allowing people into her studio or even talking about it. For her, art was her expressing her thoughts and not for the public to analyse or judge. On the wall of her studio were two unattributed quotes: 'Painting down to the bones of the matter', and 'Make slow paintings with mystery'. When Min died in 2024, she requested no announcement, funeral or obituary, - 'throw my body out in the orchard for the dogs...'

Laxman Pai (1926-2021)Shining Valley signed 'Laxman Pai' in Devanagiri and English and dated '65; further inscribed title, size and medium versooil on canvas, framed100 x 65cm (39 3/8 x 25 9/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceProperty from a private collection, Sweden.Note: There is a gallery Chemould label on the reverse with details of the artist, title of the work, medium, size and price.'The life of a creative artist is like the continuous flow of a river from its source, absorbing and digesting all the influences on the way. The real forms of art are those that elevate you upwards beyond yourself.' Laxman PaiAfter completing his formal education in art at the prestigious Sir J.J. School of Art in Mumbai, Pai embarked on a prolific career that spanned over seven decades. His early works reflected the influence of European modernism, particularly the styles of artists like Paul Klee, Joan Miro and Marc Chagall, yet Pai's artistic vision remained uniquely his own, characterized by a bold use of colour, inventive composition, flatness of pictorial surface and a keen sense of abstraction. Shining Valley, painted in 1965 illustrates these learnings well but goes further by showcasing his ability to merge the stylistics of Indian folk art with bright exuberant colours, angular simplification and figuration.Throughout his career, Pai garnered widespread acclaim for his ground-breaking contributions to the Indian art scene. He received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to the arts, including the Lalit Kala Akademi's national award, the Goa government's award and the the Padma Shri, one of India's highest civilian honours.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
