The Hague - Museum Beelden aan Zee: Joan Joan Miró - Sculptures

Couple d'amoureux aux jeux de fleurs d'amandiers (Pair of Lovers Playing with Almond Blossoms), 1975, painted synthetic resin (lost wax). Maquette. Model.

In 1974, Miró was commissioned to create a monumental work for La Défense in Paris. The piece, four times larger than the model, is located in an exclusively pedestrian square and seeks to engage in dialogue with passers-by.

Joan Miró (1893 - 1983) was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. The Catalan master broke artistic boundaries, by merging painting with poetry. His surrealistic representations are filled with mysterious signs and symbols. This unbound creativity also characterizes the sculptures which Miró created.

Time spent on the beach near his studio ultimately fostered Miró's love for sculpture. The natural objects the artist found there were a major influence on his sculptures. It is therefore particularly fitting that his three-dimensional work is now being exhibited in close proximity to the sea.

This exhibition (20 September '24 - 2 March '25) was organised in collaboration with the Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona. An accompanying catalog explores Miró’s creative methods and the symbolism found in his sculptures.
