Book ID: 79037
Taking Joan Mir—'s notorious declaration of 1927--"I want to assassinate painting"--as its point of departure, this richly illustrated volume is the first to focus on Mir— the "anti-painter," identifying the core practices and strategies the artist used to challenge painting between 1927 and 1937. This exhibition catalogue surveys the various material, iconographical and rhetorical forms of Mir—'s attacks on painting by presenting, in chronological sequence, 12 distinct series of works, beginning with a remarkable group of paintings on unprimed canvas and concluding with Mir—'s return to Realism in "Still Life with Old Shoe" (1937).
