MIRÓ, IN THE COLOR OF HIS DREAMS - SCREENING

Jean-Michel Meurice, France, 2018, 52 min, DVD

The director Jean-Michel Meurice retraces the twenty decisive years during which Miró invented his language of signs, between the studio in Montroig and that in Palma — the same place referenced in the museum's exhibition. This 52-minute documentary reveals a multifaceted artist who worked with various mediums throughout his career.

Miró saw life in dreams. For Miró, working, drawing, painting, sculpting was dreaming. He invented his path step by step, gathering, amassing, collecting each of the markers that signaled him, notes, scraps of paper, notebooks where everything is said, everything is shown of the process through which his dreams take shape and become paintings.

These are the "Catalan Notebooks." The film follows the visible path of creation in these notebooks. It follows the process of transformation. How Miró becomes Miró. The action takes place in three locations: the studio in Palma, the studio in Montroig, and the Foundation in Barcelona.

The narrative is guided by Miró's voice, interpreted by Denis Lavant based on Miró's correspondence with his friends and his interviews. It is thus Miró through Miró. All of this is extended by documents extracted from the films of Clovis Prévost, fascinating sequences where we can see Miró as a sculptor, Miró as a lithographer, the gestures of creation.
