Miro (World of Art)

The great surrealist painter Joan Miro stands out among twenthieth-century masters for the wit and spontaneity that pervade his work. Miro's art went through many phases, and its major features--the birth of his signs and symbols, his series of anguished peintures savages in the 1930's, his lyrical, poetic gouaches, his monumental sculptures and ceramics, his unprecedented use of poetic titles, and his attachment to nature and to the night--are discussed here by Roland Penrose, a friend of the artist for nearly fifty years.Penrose, Roland is the author of 'Miro (World of Art)' with ISBN 9780500200995 and ISBN 0500200998.
