  • Sculptural Process in Joan Miró (1928–1982)
    Freedom / Poetry Sculptural process in Joan Miró (1928–1982) MARÍA JOSÉ SALAZAR If there is one thing that defines the work and the personality of Joan Miró, it is the words POETRY and FREEDOM . In troubled times, Jean-Paul Sartre, in his play The Flies (1943), presents freedom as something inherent to the individual, but also as a quality that may be conditioned by circumstances. When it is adopted as a way of life, transcending the mere events of living, influences, fashions, customs and adjustments fade into the background and give way to a more meaningful existence that pervades all one’s creative work, as it does with Joan Miró. “Obviously, freedom of the spirit opens up new horizons”, 1 he admitted, and this undoubtedly enabled him to break with traditional art, in a clear rejection of existing artistic and social rules, always based on the conviction that art is a moral activity. And if we combine this aspect of his personality with his passion for poetry, we enter a unique, exceptional and enriching world, in every field of creativity he turns his hand to: painting, drawing, printmaking, stage design, illustration, ceramics, artists’ books, textile works, and of course the sculpture we are presenting in this show at Centro Botín in Santander. All these works are closely related to avant-garde movements, but above all they are personal and free, so much so that they form a world of their own, sometimes called “Mironian”. Joan Miró (1893–1983), born and trained in Barcelona, held his first exhibition at Galeries Dalmau in that city in 1918.

Photo: Pere Pratdesaba The Fundació Joan Miró The Fundació Joan Miró was created by Miró himself, at first principally with works from his own private collection, with a desire to set up an internationally recognised centre in Barcelona for Miró scholarship and contemporary art research as well as to disseminate the collection. The Fundació opened to the public on 10 June 1975 and has since become a dynamic centre in which Joan Miró’s work coexists with cutting-edge contemporary art. With an interdisciplinary approach, the Fundació organises temporary exhibitions of 20th and 21st century artists as well as academic activities and projects in collaboration with other institutions and organisations. Through its exhibition and educational programmes, the Fundació Joan Miró explores lines of research linked to the work of Miró and to contemporary art. The Fundació is located in a building designed by Josep Lluís Sert, making it one of the few museums anywhere in the world in which the complicity between artist and architect underpins the dialogue between the works and the space that houses them. The Fundació offers an overview of the landscapes of Joan Miró’s art and life, creating an enriching dialogue with other artists from the 20th and 21st centuries.

    Grand Palais 3 OctOber 2018 – 4 February 2019 His homeland, Catalonia, offered him inspiration, Paris his first springboard, and Palma de Mallorca the great studio he had always dreamed of. Between these places, Joan Miró created an oeuvre that is devoid of anecdotes, mannerisms, or any complacency towards modes of expression. To achieve this, he constantly questioned his pictorial language, even if it broke his momentum. Although he was interested in the twentieth century avant-garde, he did not adhere to any school or any group, being wary of artistic chimeras. From the 1920s onwards, Miró expressed his desire to "murder painting" and developed innovative practices. His work presents itself as a tool of protest and bears witness to his struggles. He never ceased to grapple with materials in order to affirm the power of the creative gesture. Characterised by this "primitive" energy, he is one of the few artists, with Pablo Picasso, to have launched a challenge to surrealism and abstraction (which he always considered a dead end). An inventor of forms, Miró translates into poetic and powerful terms the freedom of which he was so fiercely jealous and uses the full force of painting. #ExpoMiro DOWNLOAD THE NEW GRAND PALAIS APPLICATION https://tinyurl.com/appgrandpalais 1. “CATALAN FAUVE” 3.

    Last of this group to die – 1983 He worked extensively in lithography and produced many murals, tapestries, and sculptures for public spaces. In spite of his fame, Miró, an introvert, continued to devote himself exclusively to looking and creating. Joan Miró was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1893. He came from a craft oriented family so his family supported his art study although his father hoped he would become a businessman. Joan Miró is considered to be one of the most versatile masters of 20th century art; he is often described as a Spanish SURREALIST, but he is actually many different artists in one. Miró used painting, sculpture, textiles, pottery, printing, theatre, and enormous public monuments to express his ideas His style evolved over time, tried different styles until he found his own. 1 From exhibit of same name organized by Tate Tate Modern – 4/14/11 ‐ 9/11/11 Foundation Joan Miro, Barcelona – 10/13/11 – 3/25/12 NGA 5/6/12 – 8/12/12 Born in Gothic quarter of Barcelona, near where Picasso museum is now Went to same art school as Picasso 12 years later Dada or Dadaism was a form of artistic anarchy born out of disgustr fo the social, political and cultural values of the time.

  • For Joan Miro, Poetry and Painting Were the Same
    FOR JOAN MIRO, POETRY AND PAINTING WERE THE SAME And although the works of the noted Catalan artist appear spontaneous and free, they were really the product of disciplined intensity On a sun-seared April afternoon 15 years ago, another foreign correspondent and I called on Joan Miro at his home on a hill just outside Palma on the craggy, medieval island of Majorca. A few days short of his 85th birthday, the impish yet seemingly shy painter, wearing a suit and tie, received us in his living room, a typical Spanish bourgeois salon with stuffed furniture, houseplants and shelves of knickknacks. The decor, in fact, included several pieces of the white-painted, clay-molded, folk-crafted whistle figures that tourists always buy in Majorca. The paintings, tapestry and fan on the walls, however, did not blend in. All were original Miros.

"I live like a normal citizen," he said. "But there is a Catalan saying that the procession marches inside you. What happens is inside. "Inside?" he then asked, chuckling and waving an open hand near his chest. "Whew! Miro, by then, was a tiny, stooped man with delicate, thinning white hair and the palest of gray eves.

MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art JOAN MIRO 88 pages; 70 plates (4 in color ) $2.00 JOAN MIRO BY JAMES JOHNSON SWEENEY Joan Miro is one of the most gifted artists of our period. Of the younger men in Europe none can boast a more original contribution or a sounder redirection of interests than this young leader of the inter-war generation of painters in Paris. He has won the acclaim alike of serious critics and the general public. This important survey of his art, the first mono graph on the subject, illustrates and analyzes all of the painter's more important works and through this analysis brilliantly clarifies his de velopment. The book also evaluates Miro's con tribution to the European pictorial tradition and especially his relation to his immediate predeces sors. A brief but comprehensive sketch of the artist's career is followed by a general considera tion of twentieth century painting and his place in it. Emphasis is laid on Miro's intimate links with his Catalan heritage. A comprehensive bib liography is accompanied by lists of all of the painter's exhibitions, books illustrated by him, ballets which he has designed, and other work in related pictorial fields.
