| dc.description | Detail of the front; From 1966 Miró worked intensely on sculptures based principally on small objects, often objets trouvés, which he joined in surprising ways. Stones, branches and other objects discovered on his walks along the beach at Montroig, as well as manufactured items, were wedded in a spirit that still owed something to Surrealism but that also revealed his need for contact with nature and simple things, as also in bronzes such as Lunar Bird (1966; Philadelphia, PA, Mus. A.). An element of fun remains, particularly in brightly painted bronze sculptures cast from juxtaposed objects, such as Seated Woman and Child (1967; Barcelona, Fund. Miró), in which an ordinary chair acts as a stand-in for a figure. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 5/11/2009) | en_US |
