“When I stand in front of a canvas,” said the Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist Joan Miró, “I never know what I’m going to do—and nobody is more surprised than I at what comes out.” Miró maintained that sense of surprise his entire life, through all mediums. Pursuing a path amid floating forms, he was never easy to categorize. He began making sculpture in 1922, inspired by the plants and stones he collected in the Catalan countryside. Then came his Surrealist “Constructions” and “Objets” in the 1930s. Late in life, he turned to bronze, a series of which is on view here. These works have rarely been shown in Korea. “It is in sculpture,” the artist once said, “that I will create a truly phantasmagoric world of living monsters.” —Elena Clavarino
