Miró: Malerei als Poesie (Miró: Painting as Poetry)
Kunstsammlung Nordrhein Westfalen, Düsseldorf
13 June – 27 September 2015

Previously on at the Bucerius KunstForum, Hamburg, now on in an expanded form. Exhibition of about 50 paintings from across the artist’s career together with a representative selection from the more than 250 illustrated books that he designed. The exhibition explores two main themes: how Miró’s work was informed by contemporary literature both in Barcelona and in Paris after 1920; and how contemporary poets, such as André Breton, Paul Eluard and Tristan Tzara later collaborated with or were inspired by Miró’s work.
