1. This was a beautiful glimpse of the artist behind the art- how he works, what drives him, and how he sees the world. Miró's love for stillness was catching.
2. I love the sensitivity to the world shown in here. Magic created by simply seeing.
A few excerpts:
"Stillness makes me think of great spaces in which movements take place that do not stop at any given moment, movements with no end."
"I begin my pictures under the effect of a shock that makes me escape from reality. The cause of this shock may be a tiny thread sticking up from the canvas, a falling drop of water, or a print made by my finger on the shining surface of a table." "And so a single thread can set a world in motion."
"The encounter between instrument and material produces a shock, which is something alive and from which I believe there will be a repercussion on the spectator."

Maybe it's a beautiful edition in print, but it's just a few pages of quotes by Miro and as an ebook definitely not worth the expense.
