伯明翰饰品3

Joan Miró (1893-1983) is one of the most brilliant painters of the 20th century. 　　12 fragments from Joan Miró’s life will create a new pattern of the Birmingham Ornament. Catalan passion and Surrealism. Conformism and Fascism. Love for God and love for a woman. Such are the topics that the character meets and puts into his art. The authors, true to their poetic and ironic manner, examine the painter’s life, incarnating those topics in their own way. 　　Visual context of the 3D fragment of the Birmingham Ornament 3 refers to the famous photo of the painter Joan Miró working at the beach. Yuri Leiderman’s text is transformed into a theatre play, supposedly written by Joan Miró and performed by Barcelona street clowns. 　　Only four characters participate in the show: the Painter – Joan Miró, the Bourgeois, the Eskimos and the Storyteller. The story is dedicated to the sudden change that took place in the 20th century when avant-garde became an article of merchandise for the bourgeois, and the painter lost his original intention, when the revolutionary character of the art stepped back. The play mentions a parable of the heart desire: when Confucius asks everyone and chooses a path of the painter, the simple desire is to find oneself among the friends and go take a bath in the river. It is because the life itself is much more beautiful than exploits or self-abnegation.
