In this book,the photographs of Jean-Marie del Moral re-create the poetic universe of the grand atelier, crowded with the objets trouves and household items that fited Miro's imagination.

Miro in His Studio
In 1956 Miró at last found himself in a position to settle down in a very large white studio in Palma, Mallorca. It was here that he continued to work until his death in 1983. The text in this lovely book, by the artist's grandson Joan Punyet Miró, recalls the old man with blue eyes who taught him as a child to 'listen to the silence' while Jean-Marie del Moral's photographs capture beautifully the poetic universe of that 'large studio', peopled with paintings and the found and famiiar objects that guided Miró's inspiration.
The Miró Eye
Joan Miró (1893-1983) drew his creative inspiration for his paintings, sculptures and ceramics from a great array of sources, particularly from natural objects--such as stones, woods, bits of iron, branches, peacock feathers, pebbles or other suggestive forms--which he would collect on his daily walks and arrange in his studio into a unified inspirational universe. In this beautifully produced volume, photographs by Jean-Marie del Moral document the magical and enticing world of Miró's studio. Alongside images of his inspirational objects and intimate arrangements of household things, numerous sculptures, puppets, sketches and other works by the artist are reproduced, with gorgeous color and black-and-white interior shots and portraits of Miró at work and attending a theatrical performance for which he designed the costumes.
The Shape of Color
Colourful, humour-filled and provocative, Joan Miró's late painted sculpture forms a beautiful, little
Joan Miró, Josep Llorens Artigas
The catalogue raisonné of Miró’s ceramical work is a sequel to the four volume catalogue of his prints and the six volumes of his paintings and the volume of his sculptures. It has been produced by Joan Punyet Miró and Joan Gardy Artigas. It consists of a single volume in English, containing 570 reproductions —most of them in colour— of all Miró’s ceramics, from the first painted vases from 1941, to the final monumental ceramic walls from 1981. All these pieces are unique, always done in stoneware or earthenware, and fired in wood kilns. Comprehensive details are given for each ceramic: title, year of production, medium, materials, dimensions, with indication of signature, owner, provenance, the principal exhibitions it has appeared in and the main publications in which it has been reproduced.
Calder/Miró
The sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976) and the painter Joan Miró (1893-1983) first met in Paris in 1928 and became life-long friends. This original and visually stunning book places the mobile sculptures of Calder alongside the poetical paintings of Miró and provides fresh insights into the visual dialogue between these two artists. What did the painter see in the sculptor? What did the sculptor see in the painter? These questions are answered through an extensive examination of the exchange of artwork and correspondence between the two artists, maintained across two continents and through the turmoil of war.
Joan Miro: I Work Like a Gardener (Interview with Joan Miro on his creative process)
In 1958, artist Joan Miró and critic Yvon Taillandier sat down for an in-depth discussion on Miró's life and work. Their conversation, one of the most illuminating and insightful looks into Miró's philosophy and creative process, was first published in a limited edition of seventy five copies in 1964. Though long out of print, this bilingual "treasure," in the words of Maria Popova, "remains the most direct and comprehensive record of Miró's ideas on art." This beautiful new edition presents an updated English translation of Miró's invaluable text in an elegant and striking package. In addition to Taillandier's original foreword, a new preface by preeminent Miró scholar Robert Lubar provides wider context and insight. An appendix includes the original French text in its entirety. Joan Miró: I Work Like a Gardener brings to life the words and work of one of the most beloved and influential artists of the twentieth century.

Joan Miró
Considered one of the great artist of the 20th century, Joan Miro has bequeathed us a definitive body of work whose influence has continued to grow over the years. Miro did not paint dreams but instead , through his works, provided the spectator with certain elements so that he would be the one that dreamed. He never worked under the influence of hypnosis, drugs or alcohol. Nevertheless, his artistic personality and the way he represented on canvas what inspiration dictated to him led André Breton to exclaim: Miro is the most surrealist of us all!!. A creative force in the plastic field who felt an equal passion for the word, for the most daring poetic plays, a lover of objects and the bare truth of materials, Miro always revealed himself as an oneiric artist, a seeeker after the constellations that inspired some of his finest works. Jacques Dupin the main authority in Miro work details all those items in his amazing essay: The Birth of Signs. 72 illustrations
