HOW TO SEE | Joan Miró
As an artist obsessed with vision and “the eye of the picture that looks at us,” Joan Miró is a perfect subject for our series "How to See." Here, on the occasion of the exhibition "Joan Miró: Birth of the World," curator Anne Umland and the artist’s grandson, Joan Punyet Miró, examine the ways in which Miro worked to achieve a heightened state of awareness in which to paint. Hear about the monsters of the subconscious, the way that history guides the moral imperatives of his art, and why he loved New York City.
Joan Miró : Birth of the World, organized by Anne Umland, The Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Senior Curator, with Laura Braverman, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Painting and Sculpture, is on view through June 15. mo.ma/joanmiro

It's sweet to see a grandson understand his grandfather's work so well to evolve a discourse about it.

When I was a child I would stare for ages at the Miro works in this one art book we had. There was a language I could understand, and sometimes I think I’ve lost it, but looking at his works makes me remember the wonder with which I used to gaze upon the world. This is a gift a great artist gives us. Communication with a lost part of ourselves. ♥️
This video made me realise more than ever before how much we see through the filter of language. We cannot see the object without having a word to describe it somewhere and in a sense it ceases to exist for us.
"We are all works in progress until it ends" she decribed his work and our existence pretty well...
This artist was in communication with the unknown. I recommend any artist to find ways to communicate with “it”. Try recording your dreams, detecting patterns where there are none, visualizing and day dreaming. Everything you can do to contact your own subconscious. Then, art will fly from your finger tips. Be careful though, too deep and you’ll never come back.
His work is still so fresh, it’s amazing to think many of these pieces are over 100 years old.
I laughed at Miro until I had to reproduce one of his paintings and discovered the hypnotic rhythms of even the most simple lines. I stand in awe of him now.

I remember the 1 st time i saw a poster of one his abstract painting when i was a teen , such a flash , the bright but deep blue with a screaming red and some black lines to balance the colours. It was in the South of France , i felt so alive back then. I Love nature deeply as well and my motto has been the feet in water and the Head in the stars . Thank You Miro , i feel at home with your creations
so great to see something of this quality be this accessible
He was a visionary who had such a huge talent that he could translate his dreams and hopes into art. I'm in awe of his talent.
She has such a wonderful energy and humor. Love her:)
I try to create worlds for the viewer to interpret and it is artists like Miro that showed me, this is the true purpose of art. He is truly fascinating in every way.
Amo a Miró desde que era una niña! Su pintura siempre me pareció fascinante, llena de misterios y significados ocultos, y a su vez tan bella y simple y natural, como un universo alternativo.
I used to have a Miro tie when I was a teenager. It was my favorite tie. I got it at the local Art Museum in Traverse City Michigan. I always thought Miro was so very different than anything else. He had a very unique view. Thank you.
Every comment the curator makes is a gem. It's amazing.
What a lovely conversation between curator and loving grandson.
Thank you for making this!
Feeling grounded in something stronger than me has always been key in my life. When I felt uprooted, nothing got done.
Thank you for making and sharing this video! As a young teen wandering through MoMA, I first “discovered “ Miro’s works, which visually spoke to me in a new way.
Why this video got me so emotional? Such intimacy. What a man Miro! grandson and she rocks too! Thank you..
I LOVE how passionate you speak about Miros works of art! It really allows the viewer to open up to it and feel passionate about it as well
My favorite Catalan painter.
Thank you for this. This is done so well and I love these two. And Miró of course.
Thank you! Miro is one of my favorite artists.
Anne Umland is so joyful, so open and excited by the subject but also enamored by the artworks and the conversation with the grandson. She makes me want to know more. A child like acceptance of any thought regarding Miró. I love it.
Omg! Love their passion and enthusiasm 😍
Always in love with Miró his works. First time i seen one in real i could have cried
i like that the grandson of miro speaks on the art but he wasn't ever in his shoes except by blood
I just love his art work, really great.
what a gift to the world!! Thanks for the effort and video!!
I couldn't give that enough thumbs up. I wish i could have seen it in person. I've admired, and at times poorly emulated Miro's work. I like the fact that you can see such a progression from where he started to when he finished. I would have also liked to have seen the whole tour with his grandson.
You can say whatever you want but you will never know what goes on in the artists mind.
Thank you!💟
Thank you for this brief glimpse into the master. I have had many dreams for 40 years that involve Miro. In one, I visited him at his studio/estate, and as I went into his home, his artwork was tastefully displayed along the otherwise sparse walls. He was a very friendly and accommodating man in my dream. And quite encouraging. Even though I never met or knew him consciously, I have often felt his presence. I have one of his lithographs from the sixties--all I can afford, and I enjoy looking at it every day.
I knew only Joan Miró's geometric paintings. Watching this video, I wanted to know more about Joan Miró. Inspired by Joan Miró's imagination, I think collage production will be even more fun from now on. Thank you very much.
Qué maravilla, gracias por publicar este vídeo.
At first i thought this grandson would just talk nonsense, but he has such a profound understanding of the magic of Miro.
Another great artworks by most imaginative creative artist,, for the laymen to understand the concept and meanings requires you to understand the artist characters & his artistic minds... I love all the works displayed in this video..
Anne is such a wonderful, colourful spirit. She is a great example of how new generations become inspired by art. She is an archetype the world bleeds for, more and more as we stray away from the human spirit. Art doesn't build bridges, or solve equations, but I believe it's just as culpable for our species's continuing existence.
It is so powerful to see a relative of that "artist" defending so passioned a bunch of crap, trying to justify the garbage is beautiful, but not even him can buys that, fantastic!!
Anne Umland is a delight!
Hilma Af Klint definitely helped inspire all abstract work and thought. So thankful for her vision that allowed others to expand deeper into new realms and dimensions.
Probably my favourite
It is the best thing i have seen so far.
6:12 commentary reminds me of the film 'Amelie' where the technique of reminiscing to news-reels was used again.
that's amazing! thank you for content!
Loved this , thank you 🙏🏻♥️💗💗💗😊👍‼️‼️‼️‼️
I agree it is very engaging voice and awesome background music. Well done!
Great thanks.to the team
j'obsessed!
Wonderful description of this visionary
ive been looking for this for awhile
Un artista, una llegenda. Per sempre, un dels millors 💙
this is kind of relaxing.
Thank you for this.
I like the excitement of the video
maybe someone knows where I can find full videos of Joan Mirro? without modern stuff. His thoughts are so brilliant!
Amazing fondacion mirò in barca
Good interpretations of what makes a Miro a Miro
Master ❤️
Ohh My!! You guys keep up the good work
Superbe reportage !
I don't understand how somebody who is not the artist can presume what the artist was thinking when he created the piece of art. Unless he had very in depth conversations with his grandfather about where his head was and what he was experiencing when he produced the artwork, but really, did or would that happen? I wonder if Joan Miro was rolling in his grave saying 'NO that's not what I felt/ saw/meant at the time at all!' Artwork which I have done comes from somewhere that is impossible to describe to others.
Amazing over 10” years old ❤
The curator is so charming! I think I would really enjoy spending the afternoon with her.
Loooove Miró
great video!
Very nice!
It sounds like Miro would've really enjoyed an acid trip or a bit of a dmt rip
makes perfect sense :)
Love.
L'âme d'un enfant dans le corps d'un homme superbe oeuvre
Joan Miro and Jhoan Roa are my favorite artists
Rediscovering Miró is always great and Anne aptly extended that feeling in the right track👍

because everything was thrown in.....plus all the possibilities and metamorphosis and change
what is the pin/brooch they're both wearing?
The real triumph in this video is Miro's Grandson's ability to pull off that suit, scarf, and hat.

The earth speaks, the plants breathe and the sky cries a million tears for the children.
what a great video
Gran artista español
Cool vid, bro.
What a g!
Anyone know what film the intercut video is from?
Final spoken bit is where it’s at. And, once it ends... finished works of art?
4:16 holy shit I literally guessed that
RIP. Joan Miro.
I couldn t find the beautiful music which playing in the end even through Shazam. Does anybody know this track?
Fun fact, in spanish the word "miró" translates as "He/She looked"
One surely must end up at Miro or Mondrian on the journey through art.
1:05 - 2:15 what’s the music used?
What’s the background music in this?
ayoooooo where they get the clips of Miro interview from???
💛
How to see Miró: With the eyes closed and the ears covered to avoid listening the lies of all the economically invested in him.
Muateşem yessss👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
At 1:13 of the video, what is Miro using to draw the black line>
