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 automatism?
Artwork by Hans Hartung

What is automatism?

Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
