The bright colors and graphic strength of Joan Miróâs paintings have made him immensely popular, but the artist would have been disappointed to see his work treated as little more than interior décor. This accessible survey of the artistâs life and career explores the complex roots and darker shades that lie behind the evolution of Miróâs work, from the culture of his Catalan homeland to his exposure to the Parisian avant-garde, and the rise of fascism in Spain. Alongside Miróâs paintings, the author studies his sculpture, prints, and murals, quoting from the artistâs own revealing statements. For anyone wanting to explore the visual legacy of the artist who declared that he wanted to âassassinate painting,â this vividly illustrated book is the perfect guide.
