(*) 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 manner. He later studied at the Escola d'Art of Francesc Galí and met the Fauves and the Cubists. His emotional landscapes, which 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 turmoil he lived in Paris, where he moved in the twenties with the surrealist poets and the most creative artists of his time. There he came to know 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 he discovered 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 space of refuge and work, 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. Rooted in the landscape of Mont-roig first and Mallorca later, it would be decisive in his work. The bond with the land and the interest in everyday objects and the surrounding natural environment would be the backdrop for some of his technical and formal investigations. Miró fled academicism, in search of a global, pure work not attributed to any particular movement. Substance in the forms and in public manifestations is where Miró shows his rebellion and a great sensitivity to the political and social events that surround him. This clash of forces would lead him to create a unique and highly personal language that places him as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. (**) “Parler Seul” represents a particularly effective collaboration between artist and author. Miró’s brilliantly spontaneous and amorphous images, drawn directly on stone with very few preparatory sketches, have the inventive brio of Tzara’s random verses. The original edition was published by Maeght Editeur and consists of 72 original lithographs by Miró, 49 of which are in color, of which 18 are hors-texte.

Miró fled from academicism, in constant search of a global and pure work, not affiliated with any specific movement. Contained 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.
