'Joan Miró' offers a richly illustrated overview of the life and work of the Catalan artist Joan Miró, one of the leading figures in twentieth-century modern art. The book follows Joan Miró's artistic career in chronological order, examining his formative years in Catalonia, his association with the Parisian avant-garde, his contribution to Surrealism and the evolution of his mature style. Individual chapters discuss his paintings, drawings, prints, ceramics, sculptures and monumental public commissions. Particular attention is paid to Miró's symbolic vocabulary, his innovative use of colour, line and space, and his constant experimentation with new materials and techniques. Richly illustrated throughout, the volume also includes a concise chronology, a selected bibliography and explanatory captions that place each reproduced work within the broader context of twentieth-century modern art.
