Aproximaciones a la relación de Miró con el arte prehistórico

Abstract

Most of the studies about Joan Miró's work are referential to connections with Prehistorical Art. However there is not any detailed study which clarifies aspects so important as what way and when Miró begins to use these referents, how he applies, re-elaborates or transforms them in his creative process, how his treatment determines his artistic evolution, what specific prehistoric works he is inspired in and how he accesses to their existence. This article is focused to the resolution of these and other questions to reach the conclusion that Prehistoric Art is not only a occasional referent in Miró's work but constitutes a fixed element, first ideological after formal and technical, which determines the evolution of his style throughout his work.
