Joan Miró’s Montroig embodies his roots and his ties to the land and to the simplicity of everyday things. Montroig is a symbol and a reality, both personal and universal, and the point of departure for everything. Miró always remained loyal to Montroig and to its well-known farm, to which he returned every summer as part of a mystical ritual. He was bound to it by a deep, vital, physical and emotional connection – one that led Miró to emerge as a paradigm of how one can be universal coming from a world as specific as that of Montroig. His strength arose from the close ties that bound him to this land – family ties, but also the ties of all the age-old folk traditions that Miró encountered there and which played a key role in the development of his work and his personality. The artist’s long trajectory has its point of departure in Montroig. This is the place where, against his father’s wishes, Miró decided to devote himself fully to painting. Here, in direct contact with the land, he learned to work like a farmer, understanding that things come slowly through hard work and care. A series named after the artists special place is very fitting
