This book is a partial re-compilation of the analyses contained in the author's first far-reaching study of Joan Miro (1961). It takes into account not only the painter's output during the last two decades, but also a great number of documents discovered after his death - projects, sketchpads, texts, correspondence - to which Jacques Dupin has had access. He examines Miro's experiments in sculpture, lithographym book illustration, ceramics, mural painting, and stage and costume design, beyond Miro's paintings. Chronology, Bibliography, Exhibitions, Index. Illus., 200 full-color/293 b&w. 480p.
