Joan Miro: Wall | Frieze | Mural

Starting with the walls of his family’s country estate in Montroig, Spanish painter Joan Miró (1893–1983) became fascinated by the materiality and beauty of walls, a fascination that would continue throughout the course of his life. Walls, he would declare, were the point of departure for his paintings, which captured the material beauty of walls while paying intense attention to detail and poetic expressiveness. Exploring this central aspect of Miró’s art, this beautifully illustrated publication presents his important wall paintings in the context of his complete works.
