Miró: La experiencia de mirar – Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Av. Del Libertador 1473) – 25.10.17-25.2.18 – This exhibition centers around the work of Catalan artist Joan Miró (1893-1983) during the last 2 decades of his life. Since the 1920s, Miró was known as part of the center of the modern art world and the Parisian vanguardist circles, but in the 1950s he began a process of introspection in which he realized the maximum simplification of his universe. He began to rework a frequent theme in his work: the representation of nature and of the human figure. It moves towards a simplification, in form as well as in color, in order to achieve – in the words of the artist – “figures that appear more human and more alive than if they had been represented with all of their details.” Info
