JOAN MIRÓ Gargantua.
Color aquatint, etching and carborundum, 1977. 1595x1200 mm; 62¾x47¼ inches (sheet), full margins. Signed and numbered 30/50 in white pencil, lower recto. Printed by Morsang, Paris. Published by Maeght, Paris. A superb, richly-inked impression of this large color etching, with vibrant colors.
Gargantua is--like its name suggests--among Miró's (1893-1983) largest and most complex intaglio prints and ranks among the most sought after images in the artist's panoply of more than 2500 printed works that span his productive career (more than 1300 intaglio prints and more than 1250 lithographs). Dupin 972.
