At the Grand Palais until February 4, 2019, the retrospec- tive dedicated to the great Catalan master Joan Miró (1893- 1983) brings together nearly 150 essential works of this unique and major artist of modernity. Miró enlightened the art of the twentieth century with his creative power and poetic genius.
This pioneer of unparalleled generosity and originality declared: «People will understand more and more that I was opening doors to another future, against all misconceptions, all fanaticisms.»
The scenography, created especially for the spaces of the Grand Palais, is reminiscent of the Mediterranean world of Miró. Like waves with incessant movement towards the infinite, his major works are like radiant suns in the firmament of the infinite ima- gination.
Through his different periods, tawny, cubist, detailed or surreal, Miró never stops looking, questioning himself in order to create a resolutely new language in unusual forms and vocabulary.
He draws his vitality from the infinitely small of the everyday, starting point that takes him to ride his dreams to reveal a universe hitherto unknown.
