The Leonard Lopate Show: Joan Miro: Painting and Anti-Painting

Joan Miro: Painting and Anti-Painting

Spanish painter Joan Miro once said, "I want to assassinate painting." A new exhibit at MoMA, "Joan Miró: Painting and Anti-Painting 1927–1937," looks at how that decade transformed and invigorated Miro’s work; Ann Umland is curator; Joan Punyet Miro is the artist's grandson and manager of his estate. The exhibit is at MoMA Nov. 2 2008-Jan. 12 2009.

It's pronounced "Juan", not "Joan".
