Parler Seul
Miro, Joan. Tzara, Tristan
Paris. Maeght Editeur. 1950
One of Miró's greatest illustrated books.
From the edition limited to 253 copies, with this one of 200 on Malacca pure rag paper, signed by the author and the artist o the justification.
Also included, inserted loose, is the original publisher's prospectus for the book. Printed recto verso on a sheet matching the leaves of the book, the prospectus details the edition and is illustrated in monochrome with examples of three of the original lithographs in the book.
'This book represents a particularly effective collaboration between artist and author. Miró's brilliantly spontaneous and amorphous images, drawn directly on the stone with very few preparatory sketches, have the inventive verve of Tzara's random verses.' (The Artist & the Book).
