Miró́’s ‘unclassifiable’ style was championed by Cahiers d’Art founder Christian Zervos – a mutually-supportive relationship, with Miró́ producing cover designs for the Cahiers d’Art Revue and donating paintings. In the words of Rémi Labrusse: “Before the publication of Sweeney’s English ‘Miró́’ catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in 1941, and the monograph by Clement Greenberg in 1949, the Cahiers d’Art Revue constituted the main body of photographic and informational material for following the unfolding of [Miró́’s] body of work and its sudden developments.”
Miró́ was first published in the Revue in its first year – 1926 – and featured in issues through 1960. He was also the cover artist on issues of the Revue from 1940, 1949, and 1960. The 1940 issue, pictured here, features an essay on Miró by Tristan Tzara, and a poem about Miró by Georges Hugnet. The issue also features over a dozen reproductions of then-recent works by Miró, including ‘Jeune fille courant’.
In 2018, Cahiers d’Art published an issue of the Revue dedicated to Miró, which features as its cover one of the two stencils created by Miró for Cahiers d’Art in 1934. 

Joan Miró was born in Barcelona in 1893. He was interested in drawing from an early age and took courses at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts against his father’s advice. He exhibited his first paintings in 1918 and moved to Paris in 1920, where he rubbed shoulders with artists and poets. In 1924, he joined the Surrealist movement and signed the Manifesto. His creations are affected by this, his drawings becoming more and more schematic and approaching geometric forms. Miró continued to evolve in his artistic practice, experimenting with collage techniques, lithography and ceramics. He settled in Palma de Mallorca from the 1940s onwards, while spending time in the United States and France. In his large studio in Palma, he could produce monumental works. Joan Miró died in 1983 at the age of 90. In France, it is at the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, that we can see the largest group of his creations.
