Joan Miro: the Ladder of Escape August 4, 2012

Celebrated as one of the greatest modern artists, Joan Miro (1893-1983) developed a visual language that reflected his vision and energy in a variety of styles across many media. Through some 120 paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints from a career spanning almost a century, the exhibition reveals a politically engaged side to Miro's work, including his passionate response to one of the most turbulent periods in European history as well as his sense of Spanish - specifically Catalonian - identity.
