This book delves into the early artistic endeavors of Joan Miró (1893-1983) during the 1920s and 1930s, a period crucial in shaping the foundational visual elements that would define his entire career. Released to accompany an exhibition at Luxembourg + Co. in New York, the volume presents a fresh perspective proposed by Eric Robertson. Robertson relays that Miró's exploration during these years was deeply rooted in his fascination with ground—both as a theme resonating with his Catalan heritage and as a technical pursuit involving the creation of textured, monochromatic backgrounds.

Miró's distinct visual language evolved, incorporating a diverse array of biomorphic shapes, such as body fragments, eyes, and limbs, alongside symbols like stars, flowers, grids, letters, and numerals.
