Not because there are any rules to that effect \u2013 simply because you know you are stepping into the artist\u2019s most intimate realm. Teresa Montaner has been in charge of the archive for years, and recounts the first time she had access to Mir\u00f3\u2019s \u201cpapers\u201d thanks to the Fundaci\u00f3\u2019s then director Rosa Maria Malet and head of conservation Carme Escudero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She knew Mir\u00f3 from his finished work, as it was presented at university within the syllabus for the overall history of modern art, and also the Mir\u00f3 she had seen in museums. At the time, Alexandre Cirici had already referred to Mir\u00f3\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">papers, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gaetan Picon had published the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carnets Catalans<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Pere Gimferrer was writing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Roots of Mir\u00f3<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but in the university, artists were rarely approached in terms of their work processes. \u201cDiscovering Mir\u00f3 through his drawings was thrilling, because I didn\u2019t know that these documents even existed and because I realized at the time that I was encountering his seminal output. I also felt enormous respect for the artist, for his having taken the trouble to save his sketches throughout his life despite the experiences he had to face, with wars and many changes of residence and studios; and gratitude, for his having given this vast legacy to the Fundaci\u00f3 and to the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Awareness of a Legacy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1911, at the age of eighteen, Mir\u00f3 wrote to his parents, convinced that someday he would \u201chold a good position in painting.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As we know from this statement, Mir\u00f3 was certain that he would eventually play an important role in painting and in society.

Clearly the urge to transcend is there; it\u2019s part of our culture. In 1931, for example, Mir\u00f3 started keeping a logbook where he wrote down titles, dates, and in some cases the name of the owner in whose hands the piece had ended up. That same year, shortly before Picasso opened his first retrospective in Paris and Zervos started working on a catalogue of his entire output, Mir\u00f3 wrote to his friend Josep Francesc R\u00e0fols, with whom he had kept an extensive correspondence, asking him to keep all the letters they had exchanged, because they could be important in the future.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When years later Jacques Dupin set out to write Mir\u00f3\u2019s biography, the artist guided him to the letters he had shared with his friends, an indication that he had that conviction of becoming important in the art world someday. Keeping his drawings and notes was a way of maintaining an inventory of his painting up until the day that a full catalogue would be produced. In addition, it was a tool that allowed him to review his work. Whereas now we find Mir\u00f3\u2019s most important paintings in museums around the world, at that time most of his pieces ended up in private collections and the artist lost sight of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1856\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-728x455.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-728x455.png 728w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5-533x333.png 533w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/5.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"peu-foto\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notebook cover and notes. 1931, Fundaci\u00f3 Joan Mir\u00f3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fundaci\u00f3\u2019s archive, set up at Joan Mir\u00f3\u2019s request, now holds close to ten thousand documents from all the stages in his career, ranging from preliminary sketches to notes, mock-ups, correspondence, and a broad range of documents. It also comprises an almost complete collection of Mir\u00f3\u2019s lithographs and other prints, including some of his artist\u2019s proofs and the illustrated books that resulted from his close connections with several poets and his desire to push the boundaries of painting. All these holdings are now kept in flat file cabinets, boxes, and conservation sleeves, all inventoried and classified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis collection arrived in Barcelona from Mir\u00f3\u2019s studios in Palma de Mallorca. The first donations are from June 1975 and April 1976, coinciding with the opening of the Fundaci\u00f3. The second was made in November 1987, after the artist\u2019s death. Over the years, the Fundaci\u00f3\u2019s documents collection has grown with donations and loans from private owners and Mir\u00f3\u2019s family and friends. Among these items, I would highlight some very interesting collections of letters, as well as the artist\u2019s personal library. These holdings are a reflection of who he was and how he thought.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Thinking by Drawing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When touching on the subject of Mir\u00f3\u2019s way of thinking, Teresa\u2019s words become filled with passion. This collection not only gathers the artist\u2019s preparatory sketches and drawings, but also an important part of Mir\u00f3\u2019s thought. \u201cParticularly, we have reflections written in his notebooks from the 1940s. These are thoughts that Mir\u00f3 wrote down in Mallorca and Mont-roig, where he lived inconspicuously from the time he had decided to return from exile when the Nazi forces invaded France. Mir\u00f3 talks about his spiritual retreat, about how to face the present situation, about not worrying if a piece was left unfinished because what really mattered was not the piece itself, but the path of an entire lifetime and the impact it would have on others. The collection of drawings and documents dating up until the 1950s and now held at the Fundaci\u00f3 was carefully selected by the artist. It consists primarily of sketchbooks, but from most of them he only kept the last drawing. Mir\u00f3 mentioned in several interviews that in 1956, when he decided to settle permanently in Palma de Mallorca where his friend Josep Llu\u00eds Sert had designed a studio for him, he went through a period of severe self-criticism and destroyed many of these drawings. Those that he did afterwards reveal his work method, with many more sketches for each single work, and countless projects that were never carried out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-16.59.31-800x369.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-16.59.31-800x369.png 800w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-16.59.31-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-16.59.31-768x354.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-16.59.31-533x246.png 533w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-16.59.31.png 1596w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"peu-foto\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Preliminary drawings of\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La sieste\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(The nap), 1925, Fundaci\u00f3 Joan Mir\u00f3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Work and Method<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We ask her which pieces she finds particularly relevant. \u201cAll of them, as a whole! The sketchbooks from the 1920s and 30s come to mind, the ones that led Carolyn Lanchner to highlight Mir\u00f3\u2019s method of working in series. But even the drawings for pieces that never materialized are important; every one of them carries with it a shock factor that he uses as a stimulus to achieve new goals. I think of the sketchbook he left behind in Barcelona when he went into exile to Paris in 1936, and which, for a short time, prevented him from moving ahead with his painting. Or the Varengeville sketchbook, which he thought he had lost on his trip back to Catalonia, and which he drew again from memory. He never implemented it, but I\u2019m sure that the fact of reconstructing it helped him gain awareness of the moment he was experiencing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several types of these \u201cpapers,\u201d as Cirici called them: sketches for paintings and drawings and sketches for sculptures. \u201cThe ones for paintings, aside from some that are still very figurative, reflect a variety of impulses. Sometimes there are several sketches for the same painting, which may be considered as steps in a process that could last for years. Through these drawings, we see how Mir\u00f3\u2019s language gradually gets pared down to the extent of eliminating any representation of the real world. In the sketches for sculptures, however, the point of departure is different. The objects he uses are what initially strike the artist. Here he starts off with reality, assembles the objects on the ground, and, before casting them, he draws them. You could say that above all they act as reminders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also drawings produced as revisions of his past work, to which he returned at very specific moments in his career in order to approach the future. I believe having his entire collection of sketches at hand was very helpful to him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-17.05.48-800x335.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-17.05.48-800x335.png 800w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-17.05.48-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-17.05.48-768x322.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-17.05.48-533x223.png 533w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Captura-de-pantalla-2021-03-17-a-las-17.05.48.png 1598w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"peu-foto\">Preliminary drawing, assembled objects and sculpture\u00a0Woman and bird, 1967.

Whether she feels the weight of responsibility. \u201cWe\u2019re responsible for preserving the holdings that have been entrusted to us in the best possible conditions. It\u2019s a task we take on jointly with conservators specializing in paper, but we\u2019re also responsible for documenting and revising this material so we can make it available to everyone. And I wouldn\u2019t say our work at the archive is lonely; quite the contrary. Those of us who work here have many opportunities to share information and knowledge with researchers. Contributing to research on Mir\u00f3, either directly or indirectly, is one of the Fundaci\u00f3\u2019s goals, and is also a source of satisfaction for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A Commitment to Service<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Archives are important for enabling the ongoing reinterpretation of a legacy \u2013 its different reception in each period, at each moment. Some aspects that might pass unnoticed for one generation may become relevant for the next. \u201cSometimes we have to shed light on certain information. To do so, we also have to build a proactive network with other archives, particularly with those that have Mir\u00f3 holdings; with universities, and with scholars. That is the future vision of the Fundaci\u00f3\u2019s current director, Marko Daniel. To foster research, increase awareness of Mir\u00f3\u2019s work through the documents and drawings collection, and share knowledge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FJM-4428-319x455.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FJM-4428-319x455.jpeg 319w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FJM-4428-210x300.jpeg 210w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FJM-4428-768x1095.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FJM-4428-533x760.jpeg 533w, https:\/\/www.fmirobcn.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/FJM-4428.jpeg 1158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"peu-foto\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notes.
