Joan Miró. la Gran Belleza At Newlands House Gallery
May 1, 2021 @ 11:00 am - July 4, 2021 @ 4:00 pm UTC+0
1st MAY – 4th JULY
One of the twentieth century’s most celebrated artists, Joan Miró’s magical universe is explored in this intimate exhibition spanning 50 years of creative production.
Joan Miró i Ferrà (Barcelona, 1893 – Palma de Mallorca, 1983) is one of the twentieth century’s most celebrated artists, whose influence and legacy continues to be ever-present in our times today. Painter, sculptor and ceramicist, his lifelong playful flirtation with abstraction and geometry have secured his place in the pantheon of art history.
Avoiding categorisation, neither cubist, surrealist nor abstract artist, this exhibition aims to take a journey through more than 50 years of the artist’s creative production. The tour begins in 1931, with a small figurative painting in which one can identify the beginning of that unique visual language characteristic of Miró. It ends in 1981 with a series of engravings that boast the wealth of his creative universe. The exhibition features his paintings, sculptures, engravings, and drawings, presenting the progression of his style as he ‘honed in’ on his artistic voice. This survey show is an intimate walk-through Miró’s colourful career.
