Original lithograph with aquatint. Hand signed and numbered by the artist in pencil from the edition of 90. The piece has both a Mourlot number (M267) and a Dupin number (D284). Done in 1960, it was published by Maeght, Paris .The dimensions are 14-1/2" x 21" image and 19-3/4" x 26" sheet. // L'Invention Du Feu - D284 by Joan Miró, created in 1960, is a limited edition aquatint that exemplifies the artist’s vibrant, symbolic style. This piece, titled The Invention of Fire, features a striking red background with abstract black forms and a central organic shape in pale pink, which appears to be a dynamic, biomorphic structure. Miró’s characteristic use of bold colors and enigmatic symbols suggests a primal or elemental scene, evoking a sense of creation or discovery. The interplay of contrasting colors and shapes invites viewers to interpret the composition as a visual metaphor for the sparks of creativity and invention.

What is late modernism?
Artwork by Roy Lichtenstein

What is late modernism?

Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
