Throughout his life, Joan Miró took a particular interest in the diversity of materials, forms and colours. It led him to explore and experiment with different art forms such as painting, sculpture, printing techniques, ceramics, the theatre, and tapestry
Sert, half a century of architecture 1928 – 1979
25 February – 12 June 2005
Josep Lluís Sert started his career as an architect in 1929, towards the end of Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, at a time when political unrest in Spain was leading to demands for a change of regime. One of his prime aims was to try and ensure that the new architecture that was emerging in Europe would be accepted in Catalonia and that towns would be planned along scientific, rational and social lines.
His exile to America in 1939 brought him into contact with situations where there was no planning and little modernisation, and he therefore transposed what he had learned and practised in Barcelona , adapting it to other contexts, thanks to his capacity for self-criticism and the time he spent teaching at Harvard University .
