Obra: Gymnaste, 1977.

 

 

Joan Miró liked to recall how he had become interested in sculpture at nineteen with Professor Francesc Galí: "It was there where I also learned to draw without seeing, only by touch. Our hands back and palpábamos an object that after we had to play without having seen" (M. Rowell Joan Miró. Writings and conversations, 2002).

 

 

Obra: Tête et oiseau, 1981.

 

Precisely, in connection with that, Art Madrid'16 will take a guided tour for visually impaired people to the exhibition "Joan Miró: Bronze and Paper" in collaboration with Un Ojo para el Arte and journalist and poet Asier Vazquez, responsible for providing a visit in which thorough and detailed verbal information will be combined with touch access to some of the sculptures present. They put into context the sculpture by Miró and translated into words the feelings that the artist's works may cause through touch.
