Emerging into the public spotlight in the early 1920s, he first experimented with Fauvism and Cubism before developing a \u003cstrong\u003edistinctive style of symbols and pictograms\u003c\/strong\u003e, arranged in \u003cstrong\u003eelusive visual narratives\u003c\/strong\u003e, with frequent reference to Catalan life. As his career progressed, Miró moved towards Surrealism, and, despite never fully identifying with the movement, emerged as one of its most celebrated practitioners with techniques including \u003cstrong\u003eautomated drawing, Lyrical Abstraction, and Colour Field painting\u003c\/strong\u003e. In later years, he diversified his media further, working with ceramics, textiles, and even proposing sculptures made of gas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough his \u003cstrong\u003evivid colours, dreamlike fantasies, and enigmatic symbols\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMiró\u003c\/em\u003e brings together the numerous strands of Miró's kaleidoscopic oeuvre to introduce his fascinating career, its interaction with major modernist movements, and how it made him into a modernist legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597056884972,"sku":"9783836529235","price":45.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836529235-mir.jpg?v=1777946264","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/miro-by-janis-mink-9783836529235","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
