The Fundació Joan Miró is pleased to publish The Long Journey of Joan Miró, a book for families about the life and work of this great artist.
This biography, illustrated by Marta Altés and written by Gemma Gallardo, takes a unique look at the life of Miró and the creative processes that defined his artistic journey, influenced by his constant urge to experiment and his mastery of various techniques.
The following activities are being organised to celebrate the publication of the book and as part of the Santa Eulàlia open doors day:
Saturday 12 February 2022 from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm at Espai taller, Touch, Imagine, Draw.
Would you be able to recognise objects with your eyes closed and draw them using only your sense of touch and your imagination? In this workshop, you’ll be able to explore one of the techniques Joan Miró used to learn to draw: exercises in touch.
The illustrators Marta Altés and Juanjo Sáez will talk about their relationship with art and their careers in the world of illustration, as well as about the influence of Joan Miró on their works, in a conversation steered by the journalist Carolina Rosich.
