Reseña del editor
Joan Miro's paintings are among the most widely recognized of any modern artist, reproduced everywhere from books to t-shirts and Spanish tourist posters. While he is most often seen as a surrealist or a post-war abstract painter, terms he rejected, this book brings new insights into Miro's work by framing it in the context of the turbulent times in which he lived. Miro's contemporary Picasso left Spain, promising never to return under a Fascist government. In contrast, Miro chose internal exile, removing himself to the island of Mallorca, a decision that has led to him being viewed as a less politically committed artist. This book challenges that impression by focusing on Miro's politically engaged works, from the rural, anarchist tradition and strong Catalan nationalism reflected in early paintings "The Farm and Head of a Catalan Peasant", through to the triptych "The Hope of a Condemned Man", painted in 1974, by which he publicly declared his opposition to Franco. Drawing on new scholarship from an international range of experts, and accompanying the first exhibition in Britain for nearly half a century to show work from throughout Miro's career, "Joan Miro: The Ladder of Escape" throws new light on the life and career of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

Joan Miro : The Ladder of Escape
Anbieter: Moraine Books, Vantaa, Finnland
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Text in English. 239 pp. The works of Joan Miró are among the most widely recognised of any modern artist. Famed for saying that he had come to assassinate palnting', Miró nevertheless made a huge contribution to the art of the twentieth century, redefining again and again what could be done on canvas, in sculpture or in print. For the first time this book examines Miro's legacy through the context of the turbulent times in which he lived. Miró placed his art at the service of the Republic during the Spanish Civil War, but while Picasso vowed never to return to a Spain ruled by General Franco, Miró chose internal exile, living and working for much of his career on the island of Mallorca. Focusing primarily on Mirá»'s politically engaged art, the authors reveal him to be no less committed than his contemporary. From the rural, anarchist and Catalan nationalist themes of early paintings The Farm 1920-21 and Head of a Catalan Peasant 1924-5, through to The Hope of a Condemned Man triptych of 1974, by which he publicly declared himself in opposition to Franco, Miró's commitment to freedom of expression underpinned his art throughout his long and productive career. Drawing on new scholarship, with essays by a selection of international authorities, this lavishly illustrated book accompanies the most comprehensive Miró exhibition in Britain for nearly half a century, throwing new light on the life and career of one of the greatest artists of modern times.
