Miro, Miro on the wall
The Joan Miró exhibition at Ushaw in Durham is a veritable hit, but it must close this June. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Experience the vibrant imagination of one of the 20th century’s most influential artists at this show that offers a unique opportunity to explore the celebrated Surrealist’s mastery beyond his famous paintings and sculptures. Because Miró was also a celebrated and dynamic printmaker, and within this practise the artist produced a remarkable and extensive output of book illustrations, often created for artists, writers and poets associated with the Surrealist movement. Whether you are a devoted fan of Surrealism or simply appreciate bold, expressive artistry, this collection – which brings together prints created to illustrate the writings of the celebrated French surrealist poet Robert Desnos – provides an intimate look into Miró’s creative process.
Joan Miró: Paintings and Poetry, until 14 June, Ushaw, Durham, ushaw.org
