Joan Miro

In 1958, artist Joan Miro and critic Yvon Taillandier sat down for an in-depth discussion on Miro's life and work. Their conversation, one of the most illuminating and insightful looks into Miro's philosophy and creative process, was first published in a limited edition of seventy five copies in 1964. Though long out of print, this bilingual &quote;treasure,&quote; in the words of Maria Popova, &quote;remains the most direct and comprehensive record of Miro's ideas on art.&quote; This beautiful new edition presents an updated English translation of Miro's invaluable text in an elegant and striking package. In addition to Taillandier's original foreword, a new preface by preeminent Miro scholar Robert Lubar provides wider context and insight. An appendix includes the original French text in its entirety. Joan Miro: I Work Like a Gardener brings to life the words and work of one of the most beloved and influential artists of the twentieth century.
