Tres territorios y una infinidad de riberas: Miró amaba a Cataluña y a las rojizas tierras de su país; París, su escenario, el milagroso lugar de su advenimiento, de sus amigos poetas, y Mallorca, la tierra madre, los pinos y los algarrobos ante el fulgor del cielo. Joan Miró abordó todo el abanico de posibilidades en el arte: fovismo, cubismo, realismo detallista, pintura onírica, collage, cuadros-poemas, libros ilustrados, escultura y cerámica. El artista vivió un camino en solitario al término del cual, a los noventa años, su entrega al trabajo y la magia pura que destilaba acabaron por fundirse en un extraordinario brillo cromático. Cada una de las obras de Miró es un jardín danzante, una coral, una ópera cromática de flores, seres en eclosión. Este universo es, a un tiempo, evanescente y totalmente real: la sonoridad de los colores le proporciona su énfasis, su realidad, una elocuencia contenida. Afectividad pura, ligeramente irónica, desprovista de sensiblería. Un arte con encanto.   Una interesante colección con un cómodo formato que aborda un gran número de temas, desde arqueología y arte pasando por cultura, historia y literatura hasta ciencia y religión, con un punto de vista ameno. La narración se acompaña de ilustraciones y cuadros sinópticos con rigurosos datos históricos. Una documentada colección para todos aquellos que buscan una introducción exhaustiva al tema que se expone.

The research for this catalogue raisonné of paintings began in 1957. The artist himself and later the Miró estate were largely involved in its preparation. This catalogue of paintings has been established by Jacques Dupin, Ariane Lelong- Mainaud and Joan Punyet Miró. The catalogue includes all the artist’s oils, acrylics, and works in various media on canvas, cardboard, wood, masonite, copper and other hard supports. In the six volumes —all published only in english— all paintings are reproduced in color, whenever possible, accompanied by their title, date, technique, and dimensions, with indication of signature and inscriptions on the back, as well as their collection, provenance, important exhibitions and major publications in which they are reproduced.

The catalogue raisonné of Miró’s ceramical work is a sequel to the four volume catalogue of his prints and the six volumes of his paintings and the volume of his sculptures. It has been produced by Joan Punyet Miró and Joan Gardy Artigas. It consists of a single volume in English, containing 570 reproductions —most
of them in colour— of all Miró’s ceramics, from the first painted vases from 1941, to the final monumental ceramic walls from 1981. All these pieces are unique, always done in stoneware or earthenware, and fired in wood kilns. Comprehensive details are given for each ceramic: title, year of production, medium, materials, dimensions, with indication of signature, owner, provenance, the principal exhibitions it has appeared in and the main publications in which it has been reproduced.
