[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 323576, member: 84"]I found this in a stack of prints & paintings I have scattered around a house we are trying to empty to ready for rental (my girlfriend stopped counting at 100 paintings, prints & lithos - anything in a frame!). I remember finding this in a storage unit I won at auction (almost every storage unit has paintings - and bicycles - and is where most of mine have come from) last year, but then I forgot about it after something else was put in front of it. I love Miro's work(!) but this is... so plain?... that I am wondering if it is a print/litho for decor or something else - there is something about a Joan Miro foundation at bottom of it. Googling it shows this from the Met Museum: Only three elements float on the empty white canvas: the word "Photo," the patch of blue, and the phrase "ceci est la couleur de mes rêves" (this is the color of my dreams). The black letters sit on barely visible pencil lines that serve as guides for their size, as in a child's writing primer So is this a work of art? Or something for her foundation in 1995? Sorry if I sound stupid & thanks for any help/info! [ATTACH=full]107854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107856[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]107857[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
