Founded by Italian art critic and historian Gualtieri di San Lazzaro, the Parisian art review magazine XXe Siècle (20th Century) was a French language magazine published intermittently between 1938 and 1974. It featured articles about influential twentieth century artists like Chagall, Magnelli, Braque, and Ernst, alongside their original lithographic prints.

Joan Miró was born in Barcelona, Spain during 1893 and received his formal education at the Barcelona Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Gali. He became friends with Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Ernest Hemingway, Max Ernst and Paul Klee. Miró was accepted as a Surrealist in Paris with the recognition of some of the greatest artists of our times.
