Miro spent time at studios of Atelier 17 in the 1930s in Paris and the 1940s and 50s in New York. In New York, Miro and Hayter spent time studying the relief color intaglio printmaking techniques of William Blake in depth. These experiments, with the experiments by Krishna Reddy and Kaiko Moti, led to the development of simultaneous color printing, often referred to as 'viscosity' printing, opening a whole new world to printmakers since. In 1940 the first monograph of his work was published by Japanese art critic and artist Shuzo Takiguchi, and the following year the Museum of Modern Art in New York mounted a retrospective of his work. In 1947, Miro visited New York and worked at Atelier 17 with Stanley William Hayter, with whom he had worked with in Paris in the 1930s and who had moved his famous experimental printmaking workshop from Paris to the U.S. during the war.
It was at this time that Miro honed his intaglio printmaking skills and in 1954 he was awarded the International Grand Prize for engraving at the Venice Biennial in 1954. He would go one to illustrate around 250 livres d'artiste using lithography and intaglio. Miro moved into his villa at Palma de Majorca in 1956 and continued to work and exhibit. In 1958 he was given the Guggenheim International Award.
