Joan Miró: The Ladder of Escape
Free
Sunday, May 6th - Sunday, August 12th

"Celebrated as one of the greatest modern artists, Miró developed a visual language that reflected his vision and energy in a variety of styles across many media. Through some 120 works of art, this exhibition reveals a politically engaged aspect of Miró's work, reflecting his passionate response to one of the most turbulent periods in European history, as well as his sense of Spanish--specifically Catalan-- identity."

In addition, there will be an Exhibition Film in the East Building Auditorium. Narrated by Ed Harris and produced by the Gallery, this film examines the impact of the Spanish Civil War, the fascism of the Franco regime, and the events of World War II on Miró's career. Daily screenings throughout the day.
