(*) 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 way. Later he studied at the Escola d'Art de Francesc Galí and met the Fauves and the Cubists.
His emotional landscapes, which would 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 comarca, would be the counterpoint to the intellectual agitation he experienced 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 impulse of abstract expressionism he discovers in New York in the forties. Later, in 1956, in the midst of World War II, Joan Miró would abandon 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 then Mallorca, it would be decisive in his work. The bond with the earth and the interest in everyday objects and the surrounding natural environment would form the backdrop of some of his technical and formal investigations. Miró fled academicism, in constant search of a global and pure work, not attached to any particular movement. Contained in form and public manifestations, it is through the plastic fact that Joan Miró shows his rebelliousness and a great sensitivity to the political and social events around him. This clash of forces will 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 produced by Maeght Editeur and consists of 72 original lithographs by Miró, 49 of them in color, of which 18 are hors texte.
