“Joan Mirò. The Language of Signs " is a long journey that from Porto, Portugal, arrives in Naples with eighty works of art of great artistic value including paintings, sculptures, collages, tapestries and drawings that go to create a vivid slice of his soul. His artistic vein has made him a unique artist of his kind, creating dreamlike universes with an extremely creative spirit. Naples and its citizens can enjoy this exceptional exhibition thanks to the great work of the Serralves di Porto Foundation , COR, Building Organize Realize. The exhibition was also curated by Robert Lubar Messeri of the Institute of Fine Arts in New York under the guidance of Francesca Villanti.

The sections of the exhibition

The exhibition is divided into 9 sections that guide us in the most important points of Mirò's career.

Sign language

This section shows Mirò's use of the contour line, as writing, and of the horizon as an indicator of space. We start from the Ballerina painting of 1924.

The figure in the representation

From the beginning of the 20s, the figure is the favorite subject of Miro's research which undermined the logic itself. To attack Western illusionism, he chooses Raphael's La Fornarina.

The figure in the background

On the surface of his canvas take shape birds, astral bodies, fantastic creatures. The figure is evoked by marks and stains on the rough canvas.

Collage and object

Mirò is one of the great representatives of the collage of the twentieth century and already in the 1919 he gives proof of this by including a piece from the newspaper La Publicidad, from Barcelona, ​​in one of his paintings.

The wild paintings

They are the expression of his anger towards a society in which madness and hatred predominate, leading to war. The Masonite Paintings from 1936 are one example.

The elasticity of the sign

The sign is the graphic gesture, now, they also take precedence over meaning.

Calligraphy and gestural abstraction

Japanese calligraphy and the affirmation of Action Painting in Europe and America influence Mirò in his new way of painting.

The materiality of the sign

In the spring of 1973 he collaborates with the weaver Josep Royo and creates works that are placed halfway between painting and sculpture. Mirò incorporates common objects in cotton, jute, hemp and wool wefts.

The burnt canvases and the death of the sign

Still with the weaver Royo, in December 1973, made five burned canvases. first cut the surface, then apply pigment masses to various areas and spread the surface with a torch. In this way, it makes the frame of the carbonized frame visible and adds more paint, restarting the process.
