Joan Miro: A Retrospective Book

The principal goal of this centennial tribute to Miro's is to clarify his identity as a modern artist. Although Miro has been the subject of many exhibitions and a vast literature, a tendency to underestimate the rich variety of his work persists, and the mythology surrounding his working methods has rarely been examined. This exhibition and publication therefore seek to provide a comprehensive account of the many facets of Miros creative process cannot be unraveled, but it is hoped that the exhibition and book will provide the opportunity for a broader understanding of the oeuvre as a whole and will return viewers and readers to the art itself, where new possibilities will be revealed.

Published to accompany a centennial exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, from October 1993 through early January 1994, this intensively researched volume contains more than 250 full-color reproductions that explore the entire range of the artist's career.
