Joan Miró

"The rapid technological progress made during the twentieth century has led to an ever increasing specialization in many different professions. This phenomenon, however, does not seem to have affected the world of art in any radical fashion. Joan Miró is possibly the leading exponent of that way of working that is closer I spirit to the context of the Renaissance--when an artist might find himself painting an Annunciation one day and designing a project for the building of new walls for his city the next--than to the atomic age. This is not a question of any kind of anachronism, but the logical consequence of two factors: on the one hand, his family heritage and, on the other, his eternally restless character that led him to investigate all the possibilities to be found in materials, forms and colors; and that is why Joan Miró's work includes the most widely-varying fields: painting, sculpture, graphic work, tapestry, ceramics and theatre."
Rosa Maria Malet, excerpt from her text to Joan Miró.

Text by Jacques Dupin, Ariane Lelong-Mainaud.
Published by Poligrafa/Lelong

For Joan Miró (1893-1983) drawing was a critical component of the creative process. Published in seven volumes, Poligrafa's catalogue raisonné is the definitive resource on the artist's works on paper--executed in pencil, watercolor, gouache and pastel--along with his drawings on various other supports such as cardboard, metal and wood. In these volumes, all works are reproduced in color, whenever possible, and accompanied by their title, date, technique and dimensions, with indication of signature and inscriptions on the back. Also recorded are the collection, provenance, important exhibitions and major publications where they have been previously reproduced. This second drawings volume surveys the years between 1938 and 1959.

Miró: Catalogue Raisonné, Drawings, Volume I

1901-1937

Edited by Jacques Dupin, Ariane Lelong-Mainaud.
Published by Polígrafa/Lelong

Alongside Picasso and Warhol, Joan Miró (1893-1983) is one of the twentieth century's most influential artists. Miró created a pictorial world of intense imaginative power, in which visionary and cosmic elements are inextricably intertwined with the earthly and mundane. The research for this six-volume catalogue raisonné of Miró's paintings, spanning the years 1908 to 1981, was begun in 1957. The artist himself and later the Miró Estate were largely involved in its preparation--Jacques Dupin, Ariane Lelong-Mainaud and Joan Punyet Miró. The catalogue includes all the artist's oils, acrylics and works in various media--on canvas, cardboard, wood, masonite, copper and other hard supports. In the six volumes--all published only in English--all paintings are reproduced in color, whenever possible, accompanied by their title, date, technique and dimensions, with indication of signature and inscriptions on the back, as well as their collection, provenance, important exhibitions and major publications in which they are reproduced.

Joan Miró

Text by Jacques Dupin. Translation by Paul Auster.
Published by Poligrafa

French father of Surrealism André Breton called Spanish artist Joan Miró (1893-1983) "the most Surrealist of us all," while Miró himself infamously called for "the assassination of painting." Particularly between 1927 and 1937, transformative years during his very long career, Miró worked to both attack and reinvigorate painting. Though he maintained his freedom, experimenting with other movements such as Expressionism and Color Field painting and never truly becoming a member of the Surrealist group, Miró was among the first to incorporate automatic drawing into his practice. He left behind a distinctive body of mixed-media work--including paintings, murals, sculptures, mosaics and ceramics--whose influence has only continued to grow. This fully illustrated publication, with an essay by leading Miró scholar Jacques Dupin, reveals new aspects of the artist's life and work.
Joan Miró was born in 1893 in Barcelona. After his first trip to Paris in 1920, and through 1931, Miró generally spent half of each year in the French capital and half in his native Catalonia, returning to live in France after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. One of the twentieth century's greatest Modern artists, Miró created a pictorial world of intense imaginative power, in which visionary and cosmic elements are inextricably intertwined with the earthly and mundane. He died in 1983 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Joan Miró

Text by Carolyn Lanchner.
Published by The Museum of Modern Art, New York

Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Andy Warhol each significantly shaped the development of art in the twentieth century. These Modern masters are the subjects of four small books, the first volumes in a series featuring important artists in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art. Each book presents a single artist and guides readers through a dozen of his most memorable achievements. Works are reproduced in color and accompanied by informative and accessible short essays that provide background on the artworks and on the artist himself, illuminating technique, style, subject matter and significance. Written by Carolyn Lanchner, former Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum, these books are excellent resources for readers interested in the stories behind masterpieces of the Modern canon and for those who wish to understand the contributions of individual artists to the history of Modern art. This volume focuses on Miró.
