Miró's Magic Animals

Miró's Magic Animals

A unique look at the work of a great artist as seen through the eyes of a child
As might be expected of the son of photographer Lee Miller and writer Roland Penrose, Antony Penroseâ€™s childhood was populated with some of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. MirÃ³â€™s Magic Animals is a delightful story, chronicling Antony â€œTonyâ€â€™s encounters with the great Spanish artist Joan MirÃ³.

Tony introduces MirÃ³ as a quiet, kind, and smartly dressed man who â€œdreamed when he was awakeâ€ and painted wonderfully strange worlds filled with magical animals. The book brings Tonyâ€™s memories to life with beautiful reproductions of some of MirÃ³â€™s finest works, as well as evocative archival photography by Lee Miller and specially commissioned artworks in the style of MirÃ³, painted by children. We see the renowned painter from a new perspective, as the slightly eccentric visitor to Tonyâ€™s childhood home, during an excursion to MirÃ³â€™s farmâ€•filled with extraordinary creaturesâ€•and on a trip to London Zoo, during which MirÃ³ asked to see â€œlarge birds, snakes, and strange creatures of the night.â€ Vibrant design and playful typography make the package as appealing as the story, and round out the feeling that weâ€™re immersed in Tonyâ€™s adventure.
