“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, pursuing a path amid floating forms that was never easy to categorize. He started working on art early in life, after a short stint as a clerk led to a nervous breakdown. Miró has sometimes been called a Surrealist, but his work can also feel Expressionist or Fauvist. This exhibition looks at a more intimate side of his art. It starts with one of his earliest works, made when Miró was only 17, and then moves to the artworks he gave to family members: his wife, Pilar; his daughter, Dolors; and his grandchildren David, Emili, Joan, and Teo. The 80 pieces on view span his lengthy career and include a group of 59 that were recently gifted to the museum. —Elena Clavarino
