Summer exhibitions: the "Worlds of Magic" by Joan Miro in Maremma
The exhibition "Joan Miro. Worlds of Magic "will accompany visitors on a journey through the" universes "of Miró and at the same time, discovering some of the most beautiful and enchanting of Maremma.
Four exhibitions simultaneously, each with its own autonomy and at the same time, each piece of a great fantasy story. Object of the stands is the production of graphics great Catalan artist: almost 200 works, including book illustrations and graphics, to be considered anything but secondary production artist. To Miró paper was a particularly suitable for creating images and compositions that could not come up in other ways. 
Since his first lithograph in 1930 for "Les Cahiers d'Art" until his last monumental achievements, Miro continued to investigate the materials, signs, colors, surfaces and lighting using the peculiarities of each engraving technique, and its Graphics gives us the opportunity to fully understand the great inventiveness. That the poetic art was later rewarded for Miró love: the Spanish artist in fact changed the terms of the relationship between the visual artist, generally called upon to explain a text, the writer, it opened a brand new mode where the painter merely illustrations accompany the written part, but participated in the emotions of the poet, shared the common thread tied to the moods and, in turn, interpreted through their art. It sprang real books for four hands. Six albums in the exhibition, the artist who created the '50s onwards.
"Parler seul" presented in 1950, an artist's book inspired by the text Tristan Tzara and supported by 72 lithographs that the artist thought of Spanish as a sort of form of interactive dialogue with the words, coming to complete, conceptually, one of the first verb-visual works.
In the series "Anti-Platon, La lumière de la Lame, saccades, made in 1962, Miró instead faced three different poems in dialogue with visually poetic verses through repetition of certain elements, archetypal forms and expressive possibilities of experiencing the high tones. This portfolio includes visual interaction with three friends-loved writers with whom to share artistic experiences: Yves Bonnefoy, André du Buochet and Jacques Dupin. 
"Quelques fleurs pour des amis" is an album released in 1962 with a foreword by Eugène Ionesco and dedicated to different characters who have made the artist's life: from publishers to artists, writers to characters from the world of art as Max Ernst, Nina Kandinsky, Henry Matisse, Fernand Mourlot Aimé Maeght Marlene Dietricht and many others. The typical colors of Miro – yellow, red, blue and green – are combined in the form of alternating sections marked by signs dark lighter. In most of these works color no longer occupies a primary role, but it is as if the rhythm of constant dynamism of existential time.
A similar approach, although chromatically almost opposite, was held for "Ubu Roi," published in 1966 and probably the most interesting of the entire corpus. In "Ubu Roi" the Spanish artist relates to a play by Alfred Jarry, a comedy that tells the story of a greedy and insolent Pere Ubu and his cruel pursuit of power. The series consists of 13 black and white plates and the same color as Ubu is a caricature of every meanness and shallowness.
The L series eg penalités de l'Enfer ou les novelles-Hebrides, published in 1974, is dedicated to the work of the surrealist poet Robert Desnos, who met Miró in 1925. Their friendship was born the idea for a book for four hands, but the crisis of 1929 before the Spanish Civil War and World War II then, did not allow the project. Only later Miró began working on an unpublished manuscript. Born 25 lithographs in which the artist began to give shape to experience the first completely abstract compositions.
And finally, "with variations Wonderland" here is leading a Miró Surrealismo mature and probably more aware and 
checked that the poem Rafael Alberti and the visual work and come together at the same time, mingle. The series pays homage to the "new" vision of life that the artist felt like a garden to see and enjoy the wonders offered by nature. (Nicole Montanari)
