Miró: The Catalan Master

In this program, 20th-century surrealist Joán Miró talks about his life and the various influences on his work. It features a complete selection of Miró’s masterpieces, with each piece brought to life through expert commentary. Known primarily for his abstract paintings, Miró’s other works include murals, sculptures, tapestries, and ballet sets. Such works as Catalan Landscape are best known for their humorous fantasy, which uses a restricted range of pure colors and dancing shapes to achieve the effect. An RTVE production. (55 minutes)
