Mirades creuades: Miquel Martí i Pol and Antoni Miró

Carles Cortes has conducted the study on the correspondence of the poet Miquel Martí i Pol and the painter Antoni Miro has been presented in the exhibition of the same name presented Thursday, May 28 in Barcelona at 18.30 hours (Institute of Catalan Studies, c. del Carme, 47).

The paper analyzes the relationship between the artists and their creative languages. Miquel Martí i Pol (Roda de Ter, March 19, 1929 – November 11, 2003) and Antoni Miró (Alcoy, 1944) were able to cross his work and a series of talks, oral and written, about his life and artistic preoccupations.

A fortuitous connection point has occurred and that offers more than fifteen years later, a basis for discussion important to understand the connection between two distant artistic languages such as poetry and painting.
The epistolary relationship between Marti i Pol and Miro, conducted between 1992 and 1994, is an excellent testimony to the interest in the work concerned. A good example of the potential for interference between distant artistic codes, matching when making a critical view of the world, as is the case of their careers. The relationships that we observe between the two artistic careers-very different natures, are mediated by the subjective reception that we can make each of these.
Thus, the poet, attracted by the paintings of the painter, wrote the poem “Draft letter to Antoni Miró”. For its part, the artist designed a collection of 38 collages on verses Parlavà Suite. Some parts where critical reflection of society eroticism become common axes in the expression of Miro, and Marti i Pol two distant worlds, painting and poetry, with Miro’s work and complementary approach, reduce the distance to give a speech together, alone.
