(*) Joan Miró (1893-1983) was born in Barcelona, where he grew up and began his artistic studies. He attended the La Llotja academy against his parents’ wishes, who wanted him to work in a more traditional way. Later he studied at the Escola d'Art of Francesc Galí and became acquainted with the Fauves and the Cubists. His emotional landscapes, which would shape him as a person and as an artist, are essentially Mont-roig, Paris, Mallorca and later New York and Japan. Mont-roig, a small town in the Baix Camp region, would be the counterpoint to the intellectual upheaval he experienced in Paris, where he moved in the twenties with surrealist poets and the most creative artists of his time. There he met Arp, Magritte, Brancusi and Giacometti, and exhibited with Dalí, Tanguy, Meret Oppenheim and Max Ernst in several exhibitions on Dadaism and Surrealism. The stimulus of abstract expressionism revealed itself to him in New York in the forties. Later, in 1956, in the midst of World War II, Joan Miró would leave his exile in France and settle in Palma de Mallorca, a refuge and working space where his friend Josep Lluís Sert would design the workshop he had always dreamed of. There he focused on sculpture and ceramic work until his death in 1983. The preoccupation with the Mont-roig landscape first and then with Mallorca was decisive in his work. The bond with the land and the interest in everyday objects and the surrounding nature would underpin some of his technical and formal investigations. Miró fled from academicism, in constant search of a global and pure body of work not affiliated with any specific movement. Content in the forms and in public manifestations, it is through the plastic act that Joan Miró shows his rebellion and a great sensitivity to the political and social events surrounding him. This conflict of forces led him to create a unique and very personal language that places him as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. (**) “Parler Seul” represents a particularly effective collaboration between the artist and the author. Miró’s brilliantly spontaneous and amorphous images, drawn directly on stone with very few preparatory sketches, carry the inventive vigor of Tzara’s random verses. The original edition was produced by Maeght Editeur and consists of 72 original lithographs by Miró, 49 of them in color, of which 18 are hors-texte.
