Joan Miró Anti-Portrait Gallery

×

Expand

This exhibition features a selection of large-format engravings and paintings from Joan Miró’s last period that depict a series of figures in a frontal position. It not only shows Miró’s unconventional approach to portraiture, but also highlights the importance he attached to the craft as a means of exploring and making new discoveries.

It will present a Miró who mastered the techniques of etching, aquatint and carborundum with great skill, but who was never a slave to them. This flexibility allowed him to introduce gestures and processes typical of painting into engraving, just as painting was enriched by the materiality of engraving.
