Studio of Spanish surrealist Joan Miro recreated in London

LONDON:- Although not bathed in Majorca’s light, a London studio has recreated in minute detail the Mediterranean sunshine island studio of Spanish painter Joan Miro. Barcelona gallery Mayoral has reproduced the furniture, household items and painting materials found in the studio that inspired the surrealist painter. “The studio offered Miro a suitable working environment,” said Joan Punyet Miro, the artist’s grandson who collaborated on the project. The recreated studio, which marks the original’s 60th anniversary, contains 25 paintings and drawings by the artist, who was born in Barcelona in 1893 and died in Majorca in 1983.–AFP
