Miró à Majorque: Un esprit libre


Add your own review!

Overview

When Joan Miro moved to Majorca in 1956 he already enjoyed an international reputation and still had twenty-five years to live, dying on the Balearic island in 1981. Confident in his capabilities and status and spurred on by a kind of creative freedom, he spent these years in his studio experimenting to the greatest degree. He developed, or rather perfected, his own inimitable style: elementary forms became a personal iconography as he placed increasing faith in the expressive power of the brushstroke and the impact of the paint itself. His work displays the most varied influences and all are strongly present: the cave paintings at Altamira, Romanesque art, Catalan landscapes, and the inventiveness of Gaudi. But he also found inspiration in the East, in the rhythms of poetry, and in action painting. They all nurtured his theme of transformations, of metamorphoses. The book, which includes over 150 illustrations of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, many of which extremely large and previously unpublished, will be released to coincide with the Joan Miro exhibition to be held in Quebec (Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec, 30 May - 8 September 2019), an event that sees the artist's work return to Canada after a hiatus of thirty years. Text in French. AUTHORS: Pilar Baos Rodriguez has been the exhibition coordinator at the Pilar i Joan Miro Foundation in Majorca since 1992. He has organised several important events based on the work of Joan Miro and other contemporary artists, at both a national and an international level. Andre Gilbert is an art historian. He has been curator of the international exhibition programme at the Musee national des beaux-arts du Québec since 1995, where he has organised important exhibitions featuring internationally famous artists, including Alberto Giacometti, Berthe Morisot, and Joan Miro. Patrica Juncosa Vecchierini is now the curator of the Pilar i Joan Miro Foundation Collection in Majorca. She earned her PhD in Architecture with a thesis on the relationship between Miro and Sert, a theme she was later able to develop through a number of collaborations with the aid of the foundation. 153 colour images
