(*) Joan Miró (1893-1983) was born in Barcelona, where he grew up and began his artistic studies. He went to the La Llotja academy against his parents’ wishes, who wanted him to work in a more traditional manner. Later he studied at the Escola d’Art de Francesc Galí and met the Fauves and the Cubists.
His emotional landscapes, which shaped 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 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 stimulus of abstract expressionism he discovered in New York in the forties. Later, in 1956, amid World War II, Joan Miró would leave his exile in France and settle in Palma de Mallorca, a refuge and workspace, where his friend Josep Lluís Sert designed the workshop he had always dreamed of. There he focused on sculpture and ceramic work until his death in 1983.
Rooted in the Mont-roig landscape first and then in Mallorca, it became decisive in his work. The bond with the land and interest in everyday objects and the surrounding natural environment would underlie some of his technical and formal investigations. Miró avoided academicism, pursuing a constant search for a global and pure work, not affiliated with any particular movement. Content in forms 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 led him to create a unique and highly personal language that places him among 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 flair 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-textes.
