An exhibition showcasing Miro's work from the beginning of his career to the end, gave me a new found love and respect for his various styles of painting. Over 150 Paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures that provide an insight into six decades of his inspiration, style and identity.
This exhibition depicts his journey as an artist, where viewers can better comprehend the imagery, inspiration and talent needed to portray his childhood memories, landscapes and movement as he did. I came out with a new found love and understanding of his work, and respect for abstract surrealist paintings.
