Miro and Sert in Their Own Words: Correspondece 1937-1980

The correspondence between Joan Miro and Josep Lluis Sert - comprehensively compiled for the first time in this publication - offers an essential document for understanding the convergence between these two individuals despite the physical distance that separated them for most of their lifetimes. The correspondence is supplemented with personal statements from Miro and Sert in the form of writings, photographs, sketches, architectural plans, and press clippings. This material has been consulted in the archives of the Josep Lluis Sert Collection at Harvard University, the Fundacio Pilar Joan Miro in Mallorca, the Fundacio Joan Miro in Barcelona, and the Successio Miro in Palma de Mallorca. The letters sent from different places and relating in one way or another to their lives and their work become the narrative thread for reconstructing their shared vision, an unfulfilled project that was always in the back of their minds, which in turn shaped their artistic and architectural production.
