Joan Miró:Birth of the World

米罗：世界的诞生

2月24日至6月15日，“胡安·米罗：世界的诞生”展览在纽约当代艺术博物馆举办，此次展览将《世界的诞生》与米罗其他重要作品联系起来进行呈现。展品包括60多幅油画、纸上作品、版画、插画以及从1920年米罗第一次去法国旅行至20世纪50年代初期的一些创作，那时候，米罗独特的艺术语言为人所熟知并且享誉世界，也正是那段时期，为他的诗歌创作和绘画宇宙的发展提供了新的线索。

1893年出生于西班牙巴塞罗那的胡安·米罗是与毕加索、达利齐名的20世纪超现实主义绘画大师之一。1925年，米罗对诗歌、创作过程和材料实验产生了强烈的兴趣，于是激发了他创作《世界的诞生》。这件作品反映了偶然与计划之间的结合。作品尺幅巨大，米罗在画布上涂了不均匀的底漆。接着，他又在画面上添加了一系列象形符号，这些符号将先锋诗歌中破碎的句法、星象空间和梦幻般的意象，转化为一种极富想象力和创造性的绘画形式。他后来把这部作品描述为“某种形式的创世纪”。

From February 24thto June 15th, the exhibition "Joan Miró: Birth of the World" was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, presenting the linked exhibits ofBirth of the Worldand his other important works.The exhibits include more than 60 oil paintings, paper works, prints, illustrations and some works from his first trips to France in 1920 to the early 1950s.At that time, Miro's unique artistic language has been well acknowledged and world-famous.It was also during that period that it has provided new clues for his poetry creation and the development of the painting universe.

Born in Barcelona, Spain in 1893, Juan Miro is one of the surrealist masters in the 20thcentury as famous as Picasso and Dali.In 1925, Miro became most interested in poetry, creative process and material experiment, which have inspired him to createBirth of the World, reflecting the combination of opportunity and planning.With a huge scale, Miro painted an uneven primer on the canvas.He then added a series of pictographic symbols to the picture that transformed the broken syntactic, astrological space and dreamlike imagery of the pioneering poetry into extremely imaginative and creative forms of painting, with a name of " A form of Genesis" described by himself.
