About This Item
1974. MIRÓ, Joan. Les Penalites de l'Enfer ou les Nouvelles-Hebrides. By Robert Desnos. Illustrated with an additional 25 lithographs by Miro. Loose as issued in the original lithographically illustrated wrappers and cloth folding box. A copy of the original lithograph used for the wrappers was also affixed to the inside of the box. Paris: Maeght, 1974. An immaculate copy of one of the classic examples of the magnificent books Miró produced in the last twenty years of his life. The twenty-five lithographs which Miró created for this work form a dazzling kaleidoscope of colours, and it is accompanied by a playful use of typography. Miró chose as the text the poem by the celebrated French surrealist poet Robert Desnos, and the imagery in the book harks back to the work of his own surrealist period. One of an edition of 220 on Arches, with the colophon signed by Miró. Cramer, Joan Miró: The Illustrated Books No. 188.
