Guided Tour of Joan Miró Sculptures at Museum Beelden aan Zee
Joan Miró (1893 - 1983) was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. The Catalan master broke artistic boundaries, by merging painting with poetry. His surrealistic representations are filled with mysterious signs and symbols. This unbound creativity also characterizes the sculptures which Miró created.
Time spent on the beach near his studio ultimately fostered Miró's love for sculpture. The natural objects the artist found there were a major influence on his sculptures. It is therefore particularly fitting that his three-dimensional work is now being exhibited in close proximity to the sea.
Thanks to close cooperation with leading museum partners and public and private collections, 55 large and small sculptures by Miró are on display. Joan Miró – Sculptures highlights his experiments with ceramics, studies in plaster, assemblages, and monumental public works. They represent his ongoing quest for new ideas, materials, and techniques.
