Discover the Dreamlike Worlds of Joan Miró 🖼️🎨

With a career spanning seven decades, Joan Miró (1893-1983) was a true polymath of modern art. He refused to be confined by a single style, instead embracing and experimenting with movements as diverse as Cubism, Fauvism, and Magic Realism before forging his own path. This book chronicles his fascinating journey from a young artist in Barcelona to a celebrated figure on the world stage.

96 pages 📖

Miró's art is a captivating tapestry of influences, but he is perhaps most celebrated for his unique contribution to Surrealism. Did you know that while he was a key figure in the movement, he never fully identified with it? Instead, he used techniques like automated drawing and Lyrical Abstraction to create his own dreamlike narratives. This book explores how his work, filled with celestial bodies, fantastical creatures, and vivid symbols, became synonymous with the surrealist aesthetic.

Dimensions: 21 x 1.4 x 26 cm 📕
