The suite of the present portfolio illustrates the play ‘Ubu Roi’ by the French writer Alfred Jarry, that premiered in 1896. The Surrealists and Dadaists were enthusiastic about the piece, as it belonged to the genre of the Theatre of the Absurd. It was adopted not only by Miró, but also by other artists such as Max Ernst or Man Ray.

Joan Miró (1893-1983)
Miró was born in Barcelona where he grew up and started his artistic studies. He went to the Academy La Llotja against his parents’ will who had wanted him to work in a more traditional way. He later studied at the Escola d’Art from Francesc Galí and got to know the Fauves and the cubists. In 1920 he moved to Paris, where he lived amongst the most creative artists of his time. He got to know Arp, Magritte, Brancusi and Giacometti and exhibited with Dalí, Yves Tanguy, Meret Oppenheim and Max Ernst in several exhibitions about Dadaism and Surrealism. Miró moved to Mallorca in 1956, where he created first sculptures, later ceramics, and repeatedly oil paintings. (fea)
