Author Description

For Joan Miró (1893-1983) drawing was a critical component of the creative process. Published in seven volumes, Poligrafa's catalogue raisonné is the definitive resource on the artist's works on paper--executed in pencil, watercolor, gouache and pastel--along with his drawings on various other supports such as cardboard, metal and wood. In these volumes, all works are reproduced in color, whenever possible, and accompanied by their title, date, technique and dimensions, with indication of signature and inscriptions on the back. Also recorded are the collection, provenance, important exhibitions and major publications where they have been previously reproduced. This second drawings volume surveys the years between 1938 and 1959.
