Tracing Miro's entire career, this pictorial journey begins in the 1920s with his introduction to surrealism, cubism and dadaism, and with the flowering of his friendships with Picasso, Braque and other influential artists and poets. It moves on to his creation of a universal iconographic language, a style which reached maturity in the 1940s, and which forever distinguished Miro from his contemporaries. This volume includes nearly 100 of his greatest works, displaying the subconscious expression of this lyrical painter, whose brilliant use of colour, line and shape resulted in unique and dazzling compositions. There are photographs depicting the artist at various stages of his life, along with essays about his work.
