Joan Miro art exhibition

On Sunday I went to an exhibition of art by Spanish surrealist Joan Miro at Kiyosu City Haruhi Art Museum 清須市はるひ美術館. Do you know him?

He`s an interesting guy, because he has a girl`s name. Also his art is interesting because it looks like a small kid did it, but he`s an adult...

Actually (maybe you can guess!), I don`t like his art much.

However, I`m interested in art, and especially printmaking e.g. etching, engraving & woodblock printing, which is what Joan Miro usually did. Besides the exhibition, the museum also had an interesting display of art printing equipment & decriptions of different art printing methods. I enjoyed looking at that.

Do you often go to art exhibitions? I recommend it. Even if I don`t really like the art, I always feel positive, creative & motivated afterwards.

I really like surrealism art,especially Salvador Dali& Rene Magritte. I really want to go to Dali museum in Spain someday. But I don't want their work in my home. Too scary!

Now I`m reading a book called "The Pillars of Hercules" by Paul Theroux. In it, he describes the Dali Museum:


"...painted ceilings, monsters, masks, junk... There are ants everywhere."


Sounds like my brother`s bedroom when we were teenagers.

I like to watch paintings which type is the Middle Ages of Europe and landscape and seascape.So I like Turner who is an English painter.

I like Turner too. Like many artists, he was a bit crazy; once he tied himself to a ship`s mast in the middle of a storm so he could watch it & do a painting of it afterwards (the storm, not the mast).

I bought a big book of his paintings at BookOff for only 500 yen. In Australia it would cost much more. Second-hand books in Australia are quite expensive. Stingy Australians! (stingy - "STIN-ji" = けち）

Book Off is a little different from common used bookstores.So sometimes very worth old books whitch are the first printing are sold only 105 yen at Book Off.Then you could sell them on Internet Auction.
