Este libro es un catálogo de la exposición 'Miró: Tierra' que tuvo lugar en el Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza de Madrid del 17 de junio al 14 de septiembre de 2008. La exposición recorre la obra de Joan Miró, centrándose en el concepto de 'tierra' y su relación con los principios y valores de las culturas rurales, como la sexualidad, la fertilidad y la fábula. La obra pictórica de Miró manifiesta una desconfianza por la forma y una propensión a experimentar con la materia, anticipándose al informalismo y al expresionismo abstracto.
Joan Miró i Ferrà was a Catalan painter, sculptor and ceramist from Spain. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city of Barcelona in 1975, and another, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, was established in his adoptive city of Palma, Mallorca in 1981. Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism but with a personal style, sometimes also veering into Fauvism and Expressionism. He was notable for his interest in the unconscious or the subconscious mind, reflected in his re-creation of the childlike. His difficult-to-classify works also had a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.
