From inside the dust jacket: "In this richly illustrated book, paintings from all periods of the artist's career are presented, from the early, sharp-focus 'detaillist' pictures through the atmospheric 'dream' paintings of the 1920s and the 'savage' pastels and paintings of the 1930s, to the brilliant Constellation series of 1940-41 and beyond, in the vast variety of post-World War II works. Also represented here are the many other mediums in which Miro worked, including selected collages, drawings, constructions, sculpture, and ceramics."
