Joan Miró “returns” to Paris

In the previous summary we indicated that the artist Joan Miró maintained a close link with the avant-garde scene in Paris from his youth until a ripe old age. The exhibition sponsored by Abertis at the Grand Palais enabled the Catalan painter to return to the French capital. 

The exhibition “Joan Miró: Le couleur de mes rêves” (Joan Miró: the colour of my dreams) could be visited from 1st November 2018 to 4th February of this year. The almost fifty-five works in the exhibition offered a retrospective into the evolution of the technique and style of the artist. Miró created based on his dreams, and opened the doors to his world of poetry. He was capable of creating work based on the boost he was given by such simple, casual and fortuitous elements such as a stain, a drip, a fingerprint, an object found by chance or a natural element. “For me”, Miró said, “a painting must give off sparks. It must dazzle like the beauty of a woman or a poem”.
