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.

Truly indestructible
Size: Large, Color: Blue
They are not kidding, this ball is truly indestructible. I've gotten several for my dogs so they have plenty to share. Two of my dogs are beyond super chewers (bully breeds). One of the balls is missing the section that's glued into most of them, but the structure has still held up. And my dogs LOVE them.

Tough STINKY ball
Size: Large, Color: Red
This ball is the only one I've found that my dog can not destroy in seconds. He can chew on it for a few weeks before he works a hole in it. That's the good part. The bad side is the horrible smell! It doesn't seem to bother him, but it is horrible to my nose. It is so awful that I tried soaking it and dish soap and vinegar water overnight to see if I could make it go away. It was a little bit better but still stunk. Anybody got other suggestions on what could make the smell go away?

A good toy for chewers!!
Size: Large, Color: Blue
My dog loves this ball! The best part is that he hasn't destroyed it yet. He's a real chewer and has destroyed several toys since I got him about 6 months ago. The ball is very solid and a the squeak is not annoying. A great toy

My dog loves it, holds up well
Size: Large, Color: Blue
My German Shepherd absolutely loves this ball! He is a pretty aggressive chewer and it has held up really well, not indestructible but it lasts. We currently have three and he always has one in his mouth.

Lasted a year with a Great Dane
Size: Large, Color: Red, Size: Large, Color: Red
It lasted an entire year as my Great Dane’s favorite squeaky ball. The only reason it’s failing is because the squeaker no longer works great.
