Fellow painter Walter Erben spent countless hours conversing with his colleague Joan Miró (1893-1983) at his house in Mallorca in preparation for this book. Over the course of these talks, Miró gave Erben many interesting and invaluable insights into his art, as well as his own interpretations of his most significant works.

Thus was born this Miró retrospective which explores, through texts and images, the life`s work of one of the 20th century's most influential painters.
