Miro's exhibition

                                                                                                    
Aidez l' Espagne 1937                                                                                  
Help Spain


On the 1st of June I went to Miro's  exhibition (Tate Modern museum) and I am really enthusiastic about that! 


This exhibition examines moments across Miro's very long career that reveal his engagement with his times and it is included by three sections: 
- the first rooms explore his commitment to his native Catalonia 
- in the middle section, the terrifying years of the Spanish Civil War are reflected in Miro's new pictorial language 
- the final section looks at the last years of Franco's rule


Moreover, during my tour in Miro's exhibition, I tried to discover the typographic elements in some of his works. One example, is the poster above which was influenced by the antifascist politics, during Franco's period.
