Surrealist Master Joan Miro…the Gardener


It has been said that master artist Joan Miro thought everything in the universe was alive and part of a great interconnected totality. He saw himself as a gardener, his studio as a kitchen garden, and his works of art as his cultivated plants.

In honor of Miro’s view on nature, the ARKEN Museum of Modern Art is featuring a new exhibit: Miro – I Work Like a Gardener. It will be on view through May 30. For more information on Miro’s connection to nature and the exhibition celebrating it, visit the Park West Gallery Art Blog.
