More quotes by Joan Miro
As regards my means of expression, I try my hardest to achieve the maximum of clarity, power, and plastic aggressiveness a physical sensation to begin with, followed up by an impact on the psyche.
Joan Miro
The picture should be fecund. It must bring a world to birth.
Joan Miro
The works must be conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness.
Joan Miro
My way is to seize an image the moment it has formed in my mind, to trap it as a bird and to pin it at once to canvas. Afterward I start to tame it, to master it. I bring it under control and I develop it.
Joan Miro
The painting rises from the brushstrokes as a poem rises from the words. The meaning comes later.
Joan Miro
If you have any notion of where you are going, you will never get anywhere.
Joan Miro
More important than a work of art itself is what it will sow. Art can die, a painting can disappear. What counts is the seed.
Joan Miro
Throughout the time in which I am working on a canvas I can feel how I am beginning to love it, with that love which is born of slow comprehension.
Joan Miro
I think of my studio as a vegetable garden, where things follow their natural course. They grow, they ripen. You have to graft. You have to water.
Joan Miro
The spectacle of the sky overwhelms me. Im overwhelmed when I see, in an immense sky, the crescent of the moon, or the sun. There, in my pictures, tiny forms in huge empty spaces. Empty spaces, empty horizons, empty plains - everything which is bare has always greatly impressed me.
Joan Miro
Painting or poetry is made as one makes love - a total embrace, prudence thrown to the winds, nothing held back.
Joan Miro
I want to assassinate painting.
Joan Miro
I make no distinction between poetry and painting.
Joan Miro
Painting must be fertile. It must give birth to a world.. ..it must fertilize the imagination.
Joan Miro
For me, a picture should be like sparks. It must dazzle like the beauty of a woman or a poem. It must have radiance it must be like those stones which Pyrenean shepherds use to light their pipes.
Joan Miro
To gain freedom is to gain simplicity.
Joan Miro
For me, a painting must give off sparks. It must dazzle like the beauty of a woman or a poem.
Joan Miro
I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.
Joan Miro
For me an object is something living. This cigarette or this box of matches contains a secret life much more intense than that of certain human beings.
Joan Miro
The more ignoble I find life, the more strongly I react by contradiction, in humour and in an outburst of liberty and expansion.
Joan Miro
