Summary "This book emphasizes Miro's lifelong exploration of innovative media and methods, as well as his interest in the relationship of primitivism to modernism and of Surrealism to abstraction. Works representing all stages of Miro's long career are reproduced and discussed, ranging from realistic early paintings and drawings depicting his native Spain through later examples revealing the development of his imaginative and highly personal imagery"--Jacket.
