Galerie Lelong & Galerie Lelong & Co. Paris – New York Joan Miró Joan Miró est né le 20 avril 1893 à Barcelone. Il meurt le 25 décembre 1983, à Calamayor, près de Palma de Majorque. Figure majeure de l’art XXe siècle, Joan Miró revendiquera tout au long de sa vie une liberté absolue échappant ainsi à toute convention - cubiste, surréaliste, abstraite - qui aurait pu l’enfermer. Durant six décennies, l’artiste catalan auteur d’un langage de signes d’une grande richesse, peintre et poète, graveur fécond, sculpteur, céramiste, illustrateur de livres et créateur de décors et costumes pour la scène, inventera son monde. À 14 ans, il fréquente l’école d’art de la Llotja. De 1912 à 1915, il s’inscrit à l’école d’art anti-académique de Francesc Gali et se consacre entièrement à la peinture. Dès le début des années 20, il partage l’année entre Paris et Mont-roig, près de Tarragone, et fréquent très vite le groupe surréaliste. Dans un souci permanent de recherche picturale, il réalise, dès 1929, ses Constructions, œuvres en trois dimensions faites de bois, de fer, d’objets trouvés, découpés et assemblés qui annoncent ses sculptures. En 1940, il commence les travaux de céramique, à Barcelone, avec son ami Llorens Artigas (vases et nombreuses plaques émaillées). Puis il réalise ses premières sculptures en bronze et en terre cuite. Exposé dans les plus grands musées, deux fondations ouvertes au public portent aujourd’hui son nom. En 2018 se tient une rétrospective au Grand Palais à Paris.

  • Hommage À Joan Hernández Pijuan
    Hommage à Joan Hernández Pijuan Exhibition August 28 - October 17, 2009 1 In der Reduktion liegt die Kraft Eine Begegnung der besonderen Art erlebte ich vor rund 21 Jahren an der Art Basel: Vor den Werken von Joan Hernández Pijuan stehend, faszinierte mich ihre poetische Schlichtheit vom ersten Augenblick an und liess mich nicht mehr los. Als ich den Künstler ein Jahrzehnt später persönlich kennenlernte, empfand ich zudem tiefen Respekt für diesen beeindruckenden Menschen. Daher freut es mich ausserordentlich, dass ich meine neue galerie andresthalmann mit der Hommage an einen der herausragendsten Gegenwartskünstler Spaniens und einen langjährigen Freund eröffnen kann. Die Werke Pijuans sprechen eine schlichte, reduzierte Sprache von roher Schönheit. Sie erzählen von der Kraft des Einfachen. Durch seine unverwechselbare Technik bringt er Verborgenes zum Vorschein: Mit präzisen Mus- tern oder archetypischen Zeichen in der obersten von mehreren Farbschichten gewährt er einen Einblick in das Fundament, das versteckte Innenleben seines Werkes. Die Eröffnungsausstellung der galerie andresthalmann zeigt ausgewählte Spätwerke des mit 74 Jahren in der Blüte seiner internationalen Ausstellungstätigkeit verstorbenen Künstlers. Mein herzlichster Dank geht an Elvira Maluquer, die Witwe von Joan Hernández Pijuan, und an ihre Kinder, speziell an Joan Hernández Maluquer und an Quim Hernández Maluquer. Nur dank ihrer Bereitschaft, bedeutende Werke aus dem Nachlass zur Verfü- gung zu stellen, konnte eine der ersten Galerienausstellungen seit 2005 realisiert werden. Bereits geplant ist zudem eine umfangreiche Retrospektive des Gesamtwerkes im Museum Reina Sofia in Madrid für 2012. In Reduction Lies Strength I experienced an encounter of the special kind about twenty years ago at Art Basel: Standing in front of the works of Joan Hernández Pijuan, their poetic simplicity captivated me from the very first and would not lose its hold.

Sachs Gallery and Tatyana Grosman Gallery rfo^A T T ow does a great painter become a great printmaker? For Joan Miro X X (1893-1983), the answer involved a combination of factors: fortuitous cir cumstances, a delight in new materials and tools, and a natural inclination toward systematic approaches that channelled and expanded his creativity. Miro was thirty-five years old in 1928, when he published his first prints, to illustrate a book of poetry. Collaborating with a poet was a logical first step for him, since he had been deeply influenced by poetry and by poet friends during his early years in Paris. These friendships, and the discussions generated by them, were formative elements in his development of a Surrealist idiom in the twenties. It was at this time that Miro arrived at his language of artistic signs: visual approx imations that meld the conscious and the unconscious. Although he made use of abstraction, his imagery always remained linked to reality, even as it aimed to reveal essences and liberate the imagination.

  • 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.

  • Art and Society As a Response for Foreign
    Art and Society as a Resource for Foreign Language Teachers Maria del Carmen Alabarce Calatayud Hamilton Middle School INTRODUCTION I am a foreign language teacher at a middle school in the northwest Houston (HISD) district. I have been teaching Spanish, French and ESL, among other subjects, to 6th, 7th and 8th students for five years. Half of my student population is regular and the other half is Gifted and Talented. In spite of their differences, both groups enjoy learning through art. I was interested the seminar entitled Art and Society: How People and Cultures Define and Value the Arts because I thought I could relate its content to the design and implementation of my foreign language classes, and improve the quality of interdisciplinary thinking of all my foreign language students. ACADEMIC SETTING/UNIT BACKGROUND Hamilton MS is an inner-city school located in the North Central District (The Heights) of the Houston Independent School District and with a student population of about 1240 students in grade six through eight. Approximately 77% percent of the students are Hispanic, 13% are African American, 9% are Caucasian, and 1% are Asian. Around 82% of all students receive free or reduced lunches. Forty-six (46) percent of the student body is classified "At-Risk," 13% are limited English proficient (LEP), 18% are receiving special education services, and 19% are classified as Gifted and Talented. One of my first priorities as a foreign language teacher has always been to accomplish as many learning standards for Texas children as possible at the same time, in this case both TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) and Project CLEAR (Clarifying Learning to Enhance Achievement Results) objectives.

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, and 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.

  • TEXTOS MIRONIANS. “JOSEP ROYO I JOAN MIRÓ: ELS TAPISSOS “ (Martí
    TEXTOS MIRONIANS. “JOSEP ROYO I JOAN MIRÓ: ELS TAPISSOS “ (Martí “Jo vaig entrar a treballar a la Casa Aymat de Sant Cugat quan tenia catorze anys, el 1959. No és que aleshores estigués interessat pels tapissos, em calia treballar i guanyar diners”. Josep Royo havia nascut el 1945 a Barcelona. El pare, un artesà que pintava porcellanes i copes de vidre, havia mort quan la seva mare estava embarassada dels bessons. El germà de la mare els va acollir a la seva casa de Sant Cugat del Vallès. Amb dotze anys, el 1957, va a l’Escola d’Art del Casal Parroquial. Allí coneix d’altres inquiets joves que el faran apropar-se a la literatura, a la pintura, al jazz... I amb catorze anys, decideix deixar l’escola per posar-se a treballar. La fàbrica “Alfombras y tapices Aymat, S.A.” havia estat creada el 1920 per Tomàs Aymat (Tarragona, 1891 – Barcelona, 1944). Aquest, havia estudiat a Llotja (Barcelona) i anà amb una beca a París a estudiar la tècnica del tapís tradicional. Des del 1926 estava en un nou i bell edifici del carrer Villà núm. 68, prop de l’estació dels Ferrocarrils Catalans. L’anomenada Casa Aymat produïa bàsicament catifes per a la burgesia catalana i institucions (Parlament de Catalunya, Ajuntament de Barcelona...). També tenia una petita secció de tapissos amb telers d’alt lliç fets amb la tècnica tradicional (francesa) de Gobelins. L’any 1955 l’industrial del tèxtil Miquel Samaranch es va fer càrrec de la Casa Aymat, iniciant una nova etapa on, tot i que les catifes procuraven el manteniment de la fàbrica, es potenciaria la sec- ció de tapissos obrint-se a la nova tècnica que a França havia desenvolupat Jean Lurçat.

  • Curriculum Vitae De Joan Miró I Ferrà
    Curriculum vitae de Joan Miró i Ferrà MIRÓ FERRÀ, JOAN (Barcelona 1893 - Palma 1983). Pintor, escultor i ceramista. D’arrels mallorquines, la seva família materna provenia de Sóller, on el seu avi era fuster ebenista. Estudià (1907) a l’Escola de Comerç de Barcelona, i treballà (1910) com a administratiu en una adrogueria, al mateix temps que assistia a classes de dibuix i pintura a l’escola de Llotja, on fou deixeble de Josep Pascó i de Modest d’Urgell. El 1911, després de passar una temporada a la propietat familiar de Mont-roig, al Camp de Tarragona, per refer-se d’una llarga malaltia, una depressió nerviosa i, després, unes febres tifoidees, prengué definitivament la decisió de dedicar-se a l’art. El 1912 assistí a l’escola de pintura que Francesc Galí dirigia. De 1915 és el quadre Platja de Cambrils, de clar estil fauvista, que el diferencià dels altres alumnes. Abandonà l’escola de Francesc Galí, tot i que freqüentava el Cercle de Sant Lluc per dibuixar amb model viu. Allà conegué Antoni Gaudí, Joan Prats, Enric Ricart i Josep Francesc Ràfols, entre d’altres artistes. El 1916 orientà definitivament la seva obra cap a l’avantguarda. Després de la primera exposició a Barcelona, a la galeria Dalmau, que no fou acollida amb gaire entusiasme per la crítica, viatjà a París, on conegué Pablo Picasso, a l’amistat del qual fou fidel tota la vida. El 1921 exposà per primera vegada a París, a la galeria La Licorne, exposició organitzada per Josep Dalmau i presentada per Maurice Raynal.
