Joan Miro — Protestation

Bringing together nearly 200 works – paintings, drawings, sculptures, tapestries, costumes, films and photographs – this exhibition reveals a politically committed Joan Miró, for whom creation becomes a genuine act of resistance.

Through a chronological route, discover how the artist never ceased to question the codes of painting, going so far as to want to "assassinate" his own medium by experimenting with new materials, burning his canvases or collaborating with artists, filmmakers and men of the theatre.

Set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship, his work takes on a profoundly political dimension, making protest a driving force of creation. From the celebrated committed series to the monumental tapestries made with Josep Royo, by way of the costumes for the play Mori el Merma, inspired by Ubu roi, the exhibition reveals a free, audacious artist, deeply attuned to his era. Immerse yourself in the world of a creator who turned art into a language of contestation.
