Boston: G.K. Hall, 1986. First Edition - American. Illustrated. Hardbound. 326 pages. Fine in a fine dust jacket. A collection of the writings of the Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramist, Joan Miro from his notebooks, letters, and interviews arranged chronologically and published here for the first time in English. Illustrated with 24 pages of photographs, many of which have not been published prior to this. Meticulously edited by noted art historian and curator Margit Rowell whom Miro had approached shortly before his death with this project in mind. The text is mostly concerned with Miro’s experiences in Paris between the wars where he knew and was known by such literary and art greats as Hemingway, Max Ernst, Picasso, Braque, Dubuffet, Matisse, Breton, and more. A substantial and fascinating portrait. (Inventory #: 14070J)
