Joan Miró Reviews


  • Vicki

    Great collection of the artist’s letters and inner thoughts. It’s important for me to read how creative people think and this scratched that itch.

  • Shefije

    Very insightful book about Miro and his development as an artist.
    Reading this provides another layer of depth to his paintings.
    Really funny at times; he's very forthright in his letters sometimes
    to the point of arrogance, but it's always tempered by humility.

  • Bianca

    Almost done. I've enjoyed it very much so far. Mostly letters he wrote and interviews, so not quite a history of his life, but I love learning his opinions on everything and how he worked.

  • Vanessa

    Didn't read so much as skimmed for a paper on him. What I did read was interesting. I love his paintings!
