Have you ever heard of Joan Miro?

Last weekend, my daughter and I went to an exhibition in Nagoya featuring Joan Miro’s paintings.

Miro is a famous Spanish artist who was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1893.

Ever since he was young, he had been longing for Japan very much.

He was interested in Japanese ukiyo-e (painting), haiku (poem), and folk crafts.

He visited Japan twice.  His first visit was in 1966 and the second was in 1970.

(＊ He was 73 years old when he visited Japan for the first time. )

He experienced Japanese culture, and he was inspired by Japanese calligraphy and pottery.

In this exhibition, we were able to see his artworks influenced by Japanese culture.

We enjoyed his work very much.

 

色々な写真を見ると、

日本にあこがれ、73歳ではじめて日本を訪れたミロはとても楽しそうです！

2週間の滞在中、東京、京都、奈良、名古屋などを訪れ、信楽、瀬戸の窯元を訪ねたり、日本の書道家や作家と交流したとのこと

帰国して、日本の書や、焼き物をすぐ自分の作品に取り入れる姿勢

キラキラした笑顔で、いいものは取り入れ、新しいものに挑戦していく姿勢、ステキだなぁと思いました☺︎
