A richly illustrated art reference work, Miró's Posters presents a comprehensive survey of the poster art created by the legendary Catalan surrealist Joan Miró, one of the twentieth century's most distinctive and celebrated visual artists. J. Corredor-Matheos chronicles how Miró brought his signature visual language — bold primary colors, biomorphic shapes, and playful symbolic forms — to the dynamic medium of the poster, transforming commercial and cultural commissions into works of pure artistic expression. The text details the historical and cultural contexts behind individual works, illustrating how Miró's poster output spanned decades and encompassed everything from exhibition announcements to political and humanitarian causes. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible in tone, the volume argues for the poster as a legitimate and vital dimension of Miró's broader artistic legacy. This is an essential resource for collectors, art historians, and admirers of modern art seeking a deeper understanding of Miró's graphic genius.
