«Wild» paintings illustrate the strange and unprecedented power he gives to his work in these moments of extreme tension. In the 1940s, the appearance of the Constellations, a series of exceptional small formats performed in Varengeville-sur-Mer, Normandy, delivers a dialogue with unfulfilled dreams.
Soon ceramics will give birth to sculpture. He breathes his dreams into the material that cannot dominate this infinite spark, this door that is open on the galaxy.
With apparent simplicity, Miró transforms the world of a sign, a trace of a finger, a slight stroke on the canvas or on the ground into a marriage with fire. Amazing unions and unusual connections are constellating his universe to re enchant our world.
«For me,» admits Miró, «a painting must be like sparks. It must dazzle like the beauty of a woman or a poem.»
