Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name at the Museum of Modern Art from November 2, 2008 - January 12, 2009. With contributions by Anne Umland, et al. The book follows twelve series of Joan Miro’s as the artist sought to define anti-painting. Extensive image examples of works are paired with informative text, giving insight to Miro’s life, process and strategies, and artistic paradox. From Anne Umland’s essay, p. 2: Joan Miro revealed about his work, “The only thing that’s clear to me is that I intend to destroy, destroy everything that exists in painting, I have an utter contempt of painting. The only thing that interests me is the spirit itself, and I only use the customary artist’s tools–brushes, canvas, paints–in order to strike more precisely.”
