The most important aspect of the Joan Miró Foundations collections is without doubt its valuable stock of works consisting in over 14,000items. Most of this collection was donated to the Foundation by JoanMiró himself. Other pieces have come from the collections owned byPilar Juncosa,the artists wife,and Joan Prats,his close friend andthe driving force behind the idea of setting up the Foundation. TheFoundation has a large collection of paintings from all the differentperiods of Mirós life.The works exhibited show the development of his art from his training in Barcelona and first contacts with theavant-gardes in the early twentieth century,the time spent in Parisand his links with the Surrealists. Mirós art in the last years ofhis life was mainly expressed in large-format paintings and denotes adeeper interest in pure colour and in gesture,but without abandoninghis lyricism and compositional rigour.It is precisely this period that is most widely represented here,since he donated to the Foundationthe works that were in his studio when it was set up. This guidebookis the main tool to achieve to the highlights of the Foundationscollections.
