"Except for translations and exhibition catalogs, the newly written Miro book by the Japanese was not last published in 1981." (P.3)
Oh, I see. I haven't been to a bookstore for a while, but I'm sure Miro's books may not be there these days.
I love Miro. It was when I went to an old exhibition. There were many big masterpieces, but what attracted me was the small painting of Miro. I don't think it's a famous work because it wasn't in any of the art books I've seen before. But I remember being drawn into that world.
I saw a lot of Picasso's paintings and Dali's paintings (of course, not the real thing, but the art book). Picasso admires his drawing power, and Dali likes it so much that he copies it. But I think Miro is in the back of my painting.
Nowadays (?) I'm not interested in Miro's background or relationship with Japan. I would like to thank the author for reuniting with Miro's painting for the first time in a long time.
It's Miro's impression, so I'll write a little more.
There are several pictures of Miro's childhood in this book. Rather than being amazing, it is a picture that any child can draw. For a while in Japan, it was popular for girls to draw pictures like "shoujo manga" with big eyes. It seems that boys are still writing "heroes". I thought that if it wasn't such an uninteresting (dirty) picture, I could draw a picture like Milo. And what's great about Miro is that she seemed to continue painting the picture until her death.
Certainly, I draw pictures like cubism. However, I think I immediately stopped such "smart" paintings. I think Picasso took years to graduate from that clever painting. The pictures of Cubism and Surrealism are the pictures drawn with "Atama". It smells like "elite". I feel that Dali was drawing such a picture until the end. I don't hate such paintings. I like Warhol and I like Dushan. I don't have the skills or talents, so I often draw with my head. Writing a picture in a program is the best of all. Even so, I felt like drawing something, and some people said it was "awesome." Nowadays, with a computer, it's easy to draw a picture like Warhol, and ready-made is always the second brew.
Miro's painting feels "heart". It doesn't matter what is drawn. It doesn't matter what material you use. I feel "wind" and "warmth" in the lines and colors. The wind certainly comes from the Mediterranean Sea, Spain (Catalonia). But it doesn't matter where you come from. Just like the cats and people in Miro's paintings, it doesn't matter what kind of cat or person it is. It doesn't matter where it comes from, just as it doesn't matter what is drawn. I just want to be able to touch the kindness and warmth of the wind. I think so.
