Joan Miro

This is a handsomely illustrated survey of, perhaps, Joan Miro's finest works, accompanied by an illuminating essay by one of the world's leading experts. Considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Joan Miro (1893-1983) created an unparalleled body of work - including paintings, sculptures, and ceramics - which continues to influence artists all over the world. Although Miro's work has been interpreted as surrealist and experimental, he rejected firm membership to any artistic movement, preferring instead to weave his own path between influences. This beautifully illustrated volume brings together a collection of Miro's finest works alongside an insightful and authoritative essay from Jacques Dupin - one of the world's foremost authorities on the works of Miro.
