Constellations of Miro, Breton
In Constellations of Miró, 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.Featured in this edition are reproductions of the complete series of Joan Miró's Constellations and a translation of André Breton's proses parallèles. Also included is André Breton's essay, "Constellations of Joan Miró," as well as documentary illustrations and photographs."He's right behind me, he's after every last one of my ringlets, he treats me like a violin you tune, he abandons me in his maze where the lustrous agate veers!" --André Breton, from "Women Encircled by the Flight of a Bird" (1958)
