- Summary
- "During the early days of the Second World War, the Catalan painter Joan Miro created a startling series of twenty-three gouaches, his Constellations, works redolent with the nightmare of contemporary events. In 1958 the French poet Andre Breton composed his own Constellations, a set of hermetic prose poems meant to "illustrate"--That is, not simply to shed light on, but lend luster to - Miro's paintings, and to resume a peripatetic dialogue about exile. In Constellations of Miro, Breton Paul Hammond unravels some of the mysteries of the call-and-response of these two Surrealists by reading the pictures against the poetry, the poetry against the pictures, and both against the madness of a history that none of us has left that far behind."--Jacket.
