in dialogue

Philadelphia Museum of Art

In 1920 Joan Miro’ moved to Paris from Barcelona and Arshile Gorky emigrated to Boston.

The two Masters did not meet until almost three decades later, in New York in 1947.

Working on opposite shores of the Ocean, Miro’ and Gorky developed a personal style following the same guiding lights of Paul Cezanne and Pablo Picasso.
