There seems to be a relaxed playfulness about Miro's symbolic language. Hovering between Childishly naïve arabesques and primaeval forcefulness, his symbols are not only cheerful, ironical and poetic but also expressive, traumatic, anxieties and aggression, The world of Miro's art is not simply our visible reality but also the hidden world of magic and mysticism. This book contains a representative collection of this works from six decades, situating Miro clearly amongst the highest ranks of 20th century artists.
