Mid-Century original lithograph entitled " Chamonix " hand signed by Joan Gardy Artigas and numbered 12/75 on arches vellum rag paper from the 1966-70 edition. Presented in period 1960's chrome frame.
Joan, at the time of the creation of this image, was deeply involved in sexualising art because as he saw it sex was the truest , rawest expression of our nature. He does this by using and accentuating body parts in the image with strong colour. His view is that the creation of a work of art should speak about the artist and not simply show us the subject. Through eroticising the art it prevents it from becoming purely decorative.
In his speech 'eroticising the world' in 1982 Artigas talks about the creative process of lithography : If I want power, impact, a startling image, I use lithography. With the technique of printing directly off the stone, it is possible to get a maximum of ink on the paper. This direct impression from stone or zinc allows the kind of powerful color that is impossible to get with an off-set process. (Think, for example, of the strength of Toulouse Lautrec's posters.)

Presentation
Born in 1938 in Bologna-Billancourt, Joan Gardy Artigas joined the École du Louvre and the School of Fine Arts of Paris. A native of Catalonia, he developed his own style through his contact with Parisian artistic life. He opened his ceramic workshop in Paris. This city allowed him, to meet many artists such as Giacometti, Braque and Chagall.
In the 50s, his father Josep Llorens Artigas, a friend of Pablo Picasso, worked with Joan Miro creating ceramics. Josep age prevented him from continuing this work, thus Miro called Joan to replace his father and worked with him for over twenty years.
Joan Gardy Artigas made several other works by himself, fountains, buildings. Since the 70s, he practices lithography and etching as well.
