French father of Surrealism Andre Breton called Spanish artist Joan Miro (1893-1983) "the most Surrealist of us all," while Miro himself infamously called for "the assassination of painting." Particularly between 1927 and 1937, transformative years during his very long career, Miro worked to both attack and reinvigorate painting. Though he maintained his freedom, experimenting with other movements such as Expressionism and Colour Field painting and never truly becoming a member of the Surrealist group, Miro was among the first to incorporate automatic drawing into his practice. He left behind a distinctive body of mixed-media work - including paintings, murals, sculptures, mosaics and ceramics - whose influence has only continued to grow. This fully illustrated publication, with an essay by leading Miro scholar Jacques Dupin, reveals new aspects of the artist's life and work. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 215390
