TÀPIES MIRÓ - MARKUS MÜLLER ALEXANDER GAUDE BAR...

To mark the centenary of Antoni Tàpies and the 130th birthday of Joan Miró  Kunstmuseum Pablo
Picasso Münster is staging a major special exhibition. The works of the two most important
Catalan artists of the 20th century are set in an intriguing dialogue with each other. Despite
their great age difference  the two artists were close friends and drew inspiration from each
other's art.  This publication focuses on the graphic work of Antoni Tàpies and Joan Miró 
which is fundamental to the oeuvre of the two Catalans. In their graphic prints  both artists
developed novel ways of expression and an independent graphic style characterized by the
depiction of strokes  dots  letters and symbols: there seem to be no more boundaries between
painting  drawing and writing. In this context  the title World on Paper has an ambiguous
meaning. On the one hand  it alludes to specific real-world references in the work of both
artists  i.e. objects such as items of clothing  found pieces of wood  or even newspaper
clippings  on the other hand  it addresses the historical time frame. The work of Tàpies and
Miró is closely linked to the history of Spain  the opposition to the Franco regime  and the
quest for Catalan identity.
