TASCHEN BOOKS - MIRO (Basic Art Series)

With a career spanning seven decades, Catalan-born Joan Miró (1893-1983) was a polymath giant of modern art, producing masterworks across painting, sculpture, art books, tapestry, and ceramics, and embracing ideologies as varied as Fauvism, Surrealism, Dada, Magic Realism, Cubism, and abstraction. Through his vivid colours, dreamlike fantasies, and enigmatic symbols, this book brings together the numerous strands of Miró's kaleidoscopic oeuvre to introduce his fascinating career, its interaction with major modernist movements, and how it made him a modernist legend.

Hardcover, 8.3 x 10.2 in., 1.24 lb, 96 pages
