Description
He is one of the most significant Spanish painters of the 20th century. The themes and treatments of his early work were shaped by the Catalan landscape and clearly show the influence of Fauvism and Cubism. During his travels, Miró encountered the intellectual avant-garde of his time; his friends included Francis Picabia, Tristan Tzara, André Masson, Jean Arp and Pablo Picasso. --Publisher's description.Tags

"Ik heb me in mezelf teruggetrokken en hoe sceptischer ik tegenover mijn omgeving kwam te staan, hoe dichter ik alles naderde waar geesten wonen: de bomen, de bergen, de vriendschap" (Miró 20).
"Miro" van Walter Erben is een mooi uitgevoerd boek over de Spaanse kunstenaar Joan Miro. De schrijver heeft een aantal gesprekken met Miro gevoerd. Vooral de vele illustraties maken het een prettig boek om door te bladeren, de tekst is van bijkomend belang.
