A key figure in 20th-century art, Joan Miró has left us a definitive oeuvre which continues to reach an increasingly wide public. This book is a partial recompilation of the analyses contained in the author’s first far-reaching study on Joan Miró, which appeared in 1961, now considerably reworked and enriched. It takes into account not only the painter’s output during the last two decades of his life and studies by art historians and exhibition organizers published over the last thirty years, but also a great number of documents discovered after Miró’s death —projects, sketchpads, texts, correspondence— to which Jacques Dupin has had access thanks to his privileged relationship with the artist's family. This is, then, a completely revised and updated edition of the 1993 edition published to mark the hundredth anniversary of Joan Miró’s birth. One of Joan Miró’s friends and collaborators since 1956, Jacques Dupin has organized numerous exhibitions devoted to Miró and edited the catalogue raisonné of the artist’s pictorial work.
