This lecture will review some works—paintings, objects, sculptures—by the great Catalan artist Joan Miró. Charles Palermo will offer readings of works in the hope of showing how Miró implies movement and scale in his works. The result is fictional worlds with their own sense of time and place, which nevertheless stand right before us.
