Th Miró Eye

A room of curios but without all the usual curios. Objects of all kinds, mainly round, blue, red or green, all arranged side by side in glass cabinets and following the order cleverly dictated by the eye of Miró. Multicolored toys, plants, folk art figurines, humble stones in waiting ...
This "visual alphabet" of paper, glass, feathers, wood, plastic, breadcrumbs, zinc or clay, was put together by Miró for himself without ever explaining the reason why to the few visitors allowed into the two studios. Luckily all these objects remained unchanged, where Miró had brought them together.
Jean Marie del Moral photographed them not as an inventory but as a conversation with the artists memory. From the small salt shaker with the blue logo that accompanied the Air France meal trays in the sixties to the small figure of a Catalan defecating, these photographs admirably recreate the universe and the look Miró knew how to put on things. They guide us from Son Abrines to Son Boter and reveal to us essential details, keys to tracking the imagination of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
Joan Punyet Miró recalls in the text highlights of the life and work of his grandfather, the man with the face of a moon who taught him how to listen to the silence.
