Joan Miró: Feet on the Ground, Eyes on the Stars

Joan Miró: Feet on the Ground, Eyes on the Stars is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same title, held at Luxembourg + Co., New York from September 7 to November 26, 2022.

The exhibition and accompanying publication seek to rethink Miró’s legacy in art of the last century, featuring, in addition to a preface by Miró expert Jean-Louis Prat, a new scholarly proposition outlined by expert Eric Robertson, Professor of Modern French Literary and Visual Culture at Royal Holloway, University of London, who suggests that the key to Miró’s work of the 1920s begins with his fascination with ground – both as a subject that connects to his Catalan roots (the brown soil represented so often in his paintings from this period) and as a technical interest in constructing the background of his pictorial universe.
