Joan Miró

Joan Miró
- Used Book in Good Condition
This affordably priced monograph provides an ideal introduction to the joyful visual world of Joan MirÃ³ (1893-1983), one of the twentieth century's greatest and most beloved artists, whose pictorial language--for once the right term--was appropriated by a gamut of modernist causes and avant gardes, from Art Brut and the espousers of children's art to Surrealism (AndrÃ© Breton called him â€œthe most Surrealist of us allâ€ ), practitioners of automatism and even Color Field painting. In over 100 color plates, this book surveys not only the paintings for which MirÃ³ is most famed, but also his equally innovative experiments in other realms, such as ceramics, sculpture, editions, printmaking, tapestry (including the â€œWorld Trade Center Tapestryâ€ which was sadly destroyed on September 11) and stage design for Diaghilev, among others. MirÃ³'s contagious sense of play and pleasure in materials is perfectly represented in this introductory volume.
