(*) Joan Miró (1893-1983) was born in Barcelona, where he grew up and began his artistic studies. He attended La Llotja Academy against his parents' wishes, as they wanted him to pursue a more traditional career. Later, he studied at the Escola d'Art de Francesc Galí and became acquainted with the Fauves and the Cubists.
His emotional landscapes, which will shape him as a person and artist, are essentially Mont-roig, Paris, Mallorca, and later New York and Japan. Mont-roig, a small town in the Baix Camp region, will serve as the counterpoint to the intellectual agitation he experienced in Paris, where he moved in the twenties alongside surrealist poets and the most creative artists of his time. There, he met Arp, Magritte, Brancusi, and Giacometti, and exhibited alongside Dalí, Tanguy, Meret Oppenheim, and Max Ernst in various exhibitions on Dadaism and Surrealism.
The stimulus of abstract expressionism was discovered in New York in the 1940s. Later, in 1956, during World War II, Joan Miró left his exile in France and settled in Palma de Mallorca, a place of refuge and work, where his friend Josep Lluís Sert designed the studio he had always dreamed of. There, he focused on sculpture and ceramics work until his death in 1983.
The rootedness in the landscape of Mont-roig first and Mallorca later will be decisive in his work. The connection with the land and interest in everyday objects and the natural environment will serve as the backdrop for some of his technical and formal investigations. Miró avoids academicism, constantly seeking a universal and pure work, not affiliated with any specific movement. Expressed through forms and public manifestations, it is through the plastic act that Joan Miró demonstrates his rebellion and a great sensitivity to the political and social events surrounding him. This contrast of forces will lead him to create a unique and highly personal language that positions 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 the stone with very few preparatory sketches, possess the inventive vigor of Tzara's random verses.
The original edition was by Maeght Editeur and consists of 72 original lithographs by Miró, 49 of which are in color, with 18 hors-texte.
