Joan Miro, 1917-1934

This study of the crucial formative period of Mir’s art from 1917 to 1934, from his first emergence in the avant-garde of Barcelona and Paris to his acclaim by the Surreaslists as a modern master concentrates on the sometimes painful, sometimes ecstatic processes of his early development, working either in Paris or in the seclusion of his farm at Montroig in Catalonia.
