On the occasion of his participation in the contemporary art fair Art Madrid'16, from 24 to 28 February, Marc Calzada gallery from Barcelona in collaboration with Successió Miró they present "Joan Miró: Bronze Paper," a selection of works Catalan surrealist which coincides with the exhibition "Miró and the object", these days at CaixaForum Madrid.

Marc Calzada proposes 25 works of sculpture, printmaking and drawing. A representation of Miró's creations in recent years, important for their bravery and innovation, which broke with the conventions of painting, always in connection with its surreal and dreamlike spirit. "Joan Miró: Bronze and Paper" is a great opportunity to see (and buy) sculpture by Catalan artist and a good example of the creative capacity of the artist. Among his pieces, monumental sculptures as Souvenir de la Tour Eiffel (who will preside over the entrance to Art Madrid'16), engravings Etching, aquatint and carborundum, as Le pitre rose, and drawings as entitled Chien, that Miró made in other media such as bronze piece that also present.

Joan Miró liked to recall how he had become interested in sculpture at nineteen with Professor Francesc Galí: "It was there where I also learned to draw without seeing, only by touch. Our hands back and palpábamos an object that after we had to play without having seen" (M. Rowell Joan Miró. Writings and conversations, 2002).
