In 1958 artist Joan Miró and critic Yvon Taillandier sat down for an in-depth discussion on Miró's life and work. First published as a limited edition and long out of print, this « treasure remains the most direct and comprehensive record of Miró's ideas on art » (Maria Popova). Now widely available for the first time, this beautiful new volume presents an updated English translation, with a preface by preeminent Miró scholar Robert Lubar, and an appendix of the original French text.
