Miró! "Poetry and light"

from 16/03/2012 to 10/06/2012

He was for many years that Rome was home to a comprehensive review of the work of Joan Mirò (1893-1983), the great Catalan artist who left an unmistakable part of the European avant-garde.The exhibition features over 80 works never reached before in our country, including 50 oils of surprising beauty and of great size, but also pottery, bronzes and watercolors.You can admire the masterpieces, the oils in the street Woman (1973) and Untitled (1978), the bronzes as a Woman (1967), including the sketches for the mural for Harkness Commons-Harvard University, all from Palma de Mallorca where the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró holds many works by the artist, granted in a totally unique for the Italian premiere.The event will be held at the Chiostro del Bramante in Rome from 16 March to 10 June 2012. With the patronage of the Spanish Embassy, ​​the exhibition Miró! Poetry and light is produced and organized by Arthemisia Group, 24 HOURS Culture - Gruppo 24 ORE and DART Cloister of Bramante, in collaboration with the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró.

The curator is Maria Luisa Lax Cacho, considered internationally leading experts of the work of Miró, who wished to illustrate the final stage of production of long life, when he finally materialized in Majorca in 1956 his dream: a large space all its own, where work protected by the silence and peace that only nature could offer. During the exhibition, the studio that Miró had longed for was spectacularly rebuilt in the exhibition spaces."The meeting between fantasy and control, prudence and generosity, which perhaps can be considered a feature of the Catalan mentality may explain, at least in part, the fundamental basis of art and personality of Joan Miró." So Dorfles wrote in an essay on the artist Catalan. That 's why I think it would be beneficial to the frame of the Renaissance Chiostro del Bramante  as counterpoint to the spirit multiforme Miró and his language made up of spots, graphics, splashes, fingerprints, abrasions, stitches and nails.
