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

    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 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.

    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

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
