Joan Miró: Painting and Anti-Painting 1927–1937
until monday january 12 2009
Joan Miró: Painting and Anti-Painting 1927–1937 is the first major museum exhibition to identify the core practices and strategies Miró used to attack painting between 1927 and 1937, a transformative decade within his long career. Taking his notorious claim—“I want to assassinate painting” —as its point of departure, the exhibition explores twelve of Miró’s sustained series from this decade, beginning with a 1927 group of works on canvas that appears to be raw and concluding with 1937’s singular, hallucinatory painting, Still Life with Old Shoe. |
