Painter, ceramist, sculptor, the Catalan Joan Miró, recognized among the most revolutionary artists of the 20th century, will be the protagonist of the exhibition entitled Miró - The Dream Builder, at the Historical Museum of the Infantry in Rome (Piazza Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, 7) from September 14 to February 23, 2025.
The project, with an anthological character, produced by Navigare Srl with the sponsorship of the Embassy of Spain in Italy; Instituto Cervantes in Rome; Lazio Region and the City of Rome, and curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, Maïthé Vallès-Bled, and Vincenzo Sanfo, consists of a selection of 140 works representative of Miró's art, his revolutionary language, and the experiments that characterized about 60 years of his long existence (1893-1983), leaving an indelible mark on art and culture of our time.
Featuring works created between 1924 and 1981, the exhibition will pay tribute to the singularity of the great artist and his extraordinary attitude towards freedom, experimentation, and independence from any artistic, social, and cultural dogma. Little known to the general public, as they belong to private Italian and French collectors, the exhibited works will be presented in a path divided into 8 thematic areas: Lithographs; Posters; Poetry; Ceramics; Derrière le Miroir; Painting; Music; Miró and his friends, each referring to the passions and crossings of Miró's art.
In particular, among the works that will be exhibited, numerous lithographs stand out, curated by excellent printers and engravers such as Fernand Mourlot, who is responsible for the perfect and unmatched color rendering in the printing process of the precious graphic works. There will also be some hand-painted ceramic pieces and lithographic boards designed to accompany the verses of Parler Seul by the Dadaist poet Tristan Tzara (1950), as well as beautiful sketches for the staging of L’Uccello Luce (1981) by Silvano Bussotti, created for the Venice Biennale. The exhibition will also be enriched by a small section entitled Miró and his friends comprising about ten works by Man Ray, Picasso, Dalí, and photographs by Cohen and Bertrand, as well as books and documents by poets Breton, Éluard, Chair, Tzara to highlight Miró's various connections with the art and culture of the time.
