Two of eleven plates realized by JOAN MIRÓ (1893–1983) for Volume I of his 1972 Catalogue Raisonné of lithographs (published by Graphis Arte, Livorno, and Toninelli Arte Moderna, Milano)—each a vibrant dance of whimsy and the subconscious. Famously eschewing academic theory, Miró’s creative approach involved the free play of association—provoking “accidents” connected to the inner workings of his psyche. Hence, the poet André Breton (1896–1966) called him “the most Surrealist of us all.” The sense of cheerful playfulness is integral to his enduring popularity. Priced individually and accompanied by Gallery COAs.


JOAN MIRÓ I FERRÀ (1893–1983) is regarded as one of the 20th century’s most original artists. He struck a balance—between spontaneity and automatism on the one hand and meticulous planning and rendering on the other—which makes his work, because of its precision, seem somehow representational, despite its considerable abstraction. His mature style arose out of the tension between the brutalities of modern life and his personal poetic impulses.

Born into a family of artisans in Barcelona, the renowned Catalan painter and sculptor showed a teenage interest in drawing, and in 1907 took lessons at the city’s Escola Superior d’Arts Industrials i Belles Arts. At his father’s insistence, he simultaneously enrolled at the Escola de Comerç to study business. After three years of classes, he found work as an accounts clerk in a chemist’s shop. Stressed to the point of exhaustion, he collapsed with a nervous breakdown, and, after an ensuing bout of typhoid, was taken to live at his parents’ farm in Mont-roig del Camp, a secluded seaside village, 125 km to the southeast. During his convalescence, he foreswore business entirely, and in 1912 he resumed the study of art at the Barcelona school run by painter Francesc d'Assís Galí (1880—1965). The following year, he enrolled in life classes at the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc.

In 1916, Miró met the Symbolist painter and art dealer Josep Dalmau (1867—1937), who managed the revolutionary Galeries Dalmau in Barcelona. Intrigued by Miró’s talents, Dalmau offered to host a solo exhibition for him in 1918. Sadly it was a disaster; critics and the public alike ridiculed and even damaged the paintings. Undeterred, Miró traveled to Paris for the first time in 1920 and would go on to spend the decade alternating between the French capital and Mont-roig.

The next year Dalmau organized a show for Miró at Paris’s Galerie La Licorne. There he met Pablo Picasso (1881—1973); André Masson (1896—1987) as well as a dozen other Surrealist luminaries; and such notable American ex-pats as Ezra Pound (1885—1972) and Ernest Hemingway (1899—1961)—the latter would purchase The Farm, a landscape of the artist's family home in Mont-roig.) While Miró’s work from the early 1920s reflected the influence of Cubism, over the decade his distinctive style of flattened picture planes, organic forms, and linear symbols developed. In 1925, he met André Breton (1896—1966), the principal theorist of Surrealism, and had his first solo exhibition the surrealist Galerie Pierre. The following year, he collaborated with Max Ernst (1891—1976) on designs for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes.

Miró was the subject of a retrospective at MoMA in New York, in 1941. He won the Grand Prize for Graphic Work at the XXVII Venice Biennale in 1954, and featured in the inaugural Documenta in Kassel, Germany, the following year. In 1958, he was given a Guggenheim International Award for murals he executed for the UNESCO building in Paris. Further retrospectives took place in Paris at the Musée National d’Art Moderne, in 1962, and the Grand Palais, in 1974; in 1978 the Musée National d’Art Moderne exhibited more than five hundred works in a retrospective of his drawings.

Miró died in 1983, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in the western Mediterranean.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!
