"Derriere le Miroir. Galerie Maeght, Paris"

This is an original four-color lithograph, created by Joan Miro in 1954, and produced by Fernand Mourlot in 1959.

This item came from a large collection of original lithographs from 1959 by legendary printer Fernand Mourlot of Imprimerie Mourlot Freres, Paris.  These lithographs are minature versions of some of the finest lithographed posters of the mid-20th century.  They are the most coveted of the minature posters that exist today due to the lithographic processes used to create them and the artists of the Mourlot studio who produced them.

Please note:  This is NOT a current reproduction, copy or digital print!!

Fernand Mourlot.  The son of Jules Mourlot, Fernand and two of his brothers joined their father in the Imprimerie Bataille, Paris.  Upon the death of Jules Mourlot in 1921, the atelier was renamed Mourlot Freres.  Under the guidance of Fernand, Mourlot Freres developed an exceptional reputation with museums and galleries for producing finely executed art posters in the 1920's and 1930's.  The prominent artists of the day - Bonnard, Chagall, Picasso, Matisse, Dufy, Gris, Braque, Leger, Kandinsky, Miro, etc., all came to the studio and began years of cooperative work with Fernand Mourlot.  The results of this collaboration were so successful that more and more galleries chose Mourlot to print posters for their exhibits, known as Affiches de Peintres Lithographiees.  By the mid-20th century, the reputation of Mourlot Freres was so respected that the words "Imprimee par Mourlot" were enough to guarantee the finest quality lithographs and demand a premium collector or auction value, worldwide.
