Description
Joan Miró 1893-1983 : the Poet Among the Surrealists Joan Miró was a polymath giant of modern art, producing masterworks across painting, sculpture, art books, tapestry, and ceramics. His career spanned seven decades, marked by a constant evolution and a desire to eschew categorization. Emerging in the public spotlight in the early 1920s, Miró experimented with Fauvism and Cubism before developing his distinctive style of symbols and pictograms. As his career progressed, Miró moved towards Surrealism, embracing techniques such as automated drawing, Lyrical Abstraction, and Color Field painting. His vivid colors, dreamlike fantasies, and enigmatic symbols brought together numerous strands of his kaleidoscopic oeuvre. This book brings together the various aspects of Miró's fascinating career, its interaction with major modernist movements, and how it made him a modernist legend. Through 95 pages of illustrated content, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to Miró's life and work, shedding light on the numerous strands of his oeuvre and the ways in which he contributed to the development of modern art.
