The first time I met Miró was in July 1971

Until his death in 1893 I met him several times

This picture is from 1976 during the opening of his museum in Barcelona

Joan Miró created more original posters than any other artist of his time. Poster art was an important way for him to reach out to many people.

The complete collection contains 154 framed posters which were first exhibited in Malmö konsthall from November 1993 to February 1994. On this occasion the book Joan Miró posters affischer (ISBN 99 7704062 - 7) by Nils Tryding and Sune Nordgren was published by Malmö konsthall.

Miro, A Just Man Miro was goodness, a just man in all things. He did not speak much but was very couteous. I never saw him with a camera or a ballpoint pen, but he would sometimes spend an hour contemplating the landscape. He and I were alone. I prudently kept my distance. He liked places that were difficult to get to, with a good view. [Francesco Sole, Miro´s chauffeur during 25 years. Interview at ABC, in Spain, 1983.]

Konsthallschefen Thomas Kjellgren betonade Mirós relation till poesin, språket och den katalanska kulturen. Verken är huvudsakligen hämtade från den unika samling med Mirós originalaffischer ( 154 st). Miró gjorde sin första affisch 1937. Den visar en katalansk bonde som knyter näven mot Franco och fascismen. En av de sista affischerna utfördes till fotbolls -VM i Spanien 1982. I affischkonsten såg Miró en viktig möjlighet till direkt kommunikation med betraktaren. I en sådan bildvärld kunde han spegla såväl politiska ställningstaganden som populära fotbollsevenemang och katalanska kulturarrangemang. I utställningen visas även ett stort, och intressant, urval av de böcker och tidskrifter i vilka Miró utförde originalgrafik - etsningar, litografier och träsnitt - och där han samarbetade med nu legendariska författare i de dadaistiska och surrealistiska vänkretsarna: Tristan Tzara, Benjamin Peret, Alfred Jarry, André Breton m fl. Men här finns även bokprojekt utförda tillsammans med författare som Joan Brossa, Yves Bonnefoy och Claude Simon m fl. I samlingen ingår även teckningar, brev och annan dokumentation. Från Skissernas Museum i Lund hade dessutom inlånats en skiss som visar Mirós arbete med den målning som han utförde på en stor mur i St Gallen i Schweiz i mitten av 50-talet. I utställningen i Kristianstads konsthall kunde man se verk av Miró som omspänner tiden från 1917 och fram till konstnärens död 1983. 1973 gjorde Miró en originalaffisch ( d v s en affisch i vilken konstnären själv deltar i hela tillkomstprocessen) till en utställning i Kristianstad. Tio år senare, 1983, visades samtliga affischer i samband med Åhusmässan. Efter ytterligare ett decennium gjordes en stor Miró-utställning i Malmö Konsthall. Nu sluts denna tioårscirkel genom att Kristianstads konsthall visar Miróverk, 110 år efter att konstnären föddes. I samband med utställningen anordnades specialvisningar och flera programkvällar, som bland annat tog upp teman som Miró och filmen, Miró och musiken, Den förfalskade Miró. Dessutom talade Kjell A Johansson om Miró och den katalanska kulturen.

Clinical Chemist Unveiling the Right Side: Joan Miró and I

The painter Joan Miró (1893–1983) was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Fifty years ago, I went to Paris to attend a congress in biochemistry. I do not remember anything from the meeting, but I do recall occasionally noticing the new UNESCO headquarters building near the Eiffel Tower. It was decorated with 2 large ceramic murals, one containing a sun and the other a moon. The size and the brilliant colors made a great impression on me, and I decided to learn as much as possible about the artist. According to Miró, there are only 2 ways for a visual artist to reach many people: with sculptures or murals in public places or with posters. Paintings run the risk of ending up on the wall over a collector’s sofa or in museums, which only a small minority of the population visit. The Maeght Gallery in Paris had published several posters, and there I met the poet and author Jacques Dupin. He had just published a big book on Joan Miró. I studied it in detail, as I was accustomed to doing with medical books. The author noticed my great interest and made it possible for me to meet Joan Miró. In 1971, I visited his home and studio in Palma de Mallorca for several hours. Joan Miró was a small man, of my size, with kind blue eyes, so it was easy to develop a good rapport with him. We spoke in French, and I told him that I had started a group of admirers, Société des Admirateurs de Joan Miró, with members from all over the world. He was very pleased and said that he liked to have admirers, as he knew that Elvis Presley had them. His studio had many paintings on the walls.
They had no titles, however, because Miro´ ’s idea was that art leads to different interpretations in different individuals. The effects change from person to person,
depending on one’s experiences and willingnessto be influenced. On that occasion, he gave me 2 pencil drawings, with a personal dedication (Fig. 1).
Joan Miro´ allowed me to use them to illustrate the covers of Drug Effects in Clinical Chemistry 1992 and the 1996 edition (Fig. 2). The content is really boring,
but the books have attracted some interest, thanks to the colorful covers.
A short time after my visit with Miro´ , I received a letter from a Spanish editor and publisher of art books. He had asked Miro´ about the publication of a book on his original posters. Miro´ told him that he had no complete knowledge of the posters he had made but that he had just met a mad Swede who
seemed to know more about them. This was not true,but I thought that here was a great opportunity for me to do something. Joan Miro´ was a very active artist, and there are more than 1000 posters of reproductions of his art. Only those he has made by his
own hands can be defined as original posters, however. When I started to collect Miro´ posters systematically, I already had acquired some posters he had made for exhibitions at the Maeght Gallery. To find more, I had to contact other art galleries and visit the printers who collaborated with Miro´ . I learned about the best-known printers, Mourlot and Arte in Paris andLitografias Artisticas in Barcelona. Like Picasso, Miro´ was extremely inventive and took part in the whole printing process. The collaborators were full of admiration for Joan Miro´ . His first poster, from 1937, depicts a Catalan peasant (identified by his red cap) raising his clenched fist to Franco and the Fascists. Miro´ was born in Barcelona in 1893 and, like most other Catalans, was in support of the republic against Franco. It is important to note that his first name was Joan, which is the Catalan spelling of Juan. Several of Miro´ ’s posters contain 4 red barrels on a yellow background, which echoes the motif of the Catalan flag.
During Franco’s time, this flag and the Catalan language were forbidden. Before the death of Franco in 1975, I visited Barcelona to buy the forbidden posters and had to
acquire them secretly. Some had been made in the Catalan language to announce medical meetings, and the only possible way to get them was to have good contacts with Catalan scientific colleagues. I was invited several times to  clinical chemistry meetings in Barcelona to speak about the effects of drugs on laboratory test results, and I used every visit as an opportunity to search for Miro´ posters of the forbidden Catalan congresses. I succeeded twice.Meeting attendees knew of both a professor who had been a chair of meetings in the Catalan language and a representative
of a drug company who had posters. Both individuals were kind enough to present me with the missing posters. Thanks to other friends, I also succeeded in finding the 2 posters that General Franco had banned in particular, one for the first of May 1968 and the other for the second Catalonian congress of lawyers, in 1971.
In April 1973, Joan Miro´ invited me to his 80th birthday celebration in Palma de Mallorca. As a present, I gave him a list of about 70 posters that Ihad documented. He was very happy for this gift and told me that he would prepare a special poster for me
and the exhibition of the collection in the Kristianstad museum. This exhibition took place in the summer of 1973, and the number of admirers of Joan Miro´ increased rapidly. The next year, a group of us went to Paris to meet Joan Miro´ and see 2 important retrospective exhibitions, one of paintings and sculpture in the Grand Palais and the other of graphic work, illustrated books, and posters in the Muse´e d’Art Moderne. We were happy to see the poster for Kristianstad included. Among the new
paintings were some that were nearly totally black, one of which had a piece of map with the names Kristianstad and Åhus in the upper right corner. The reason for the predominant black color of these paintings was that Miro´ had been depressed because of eyesight problems. He underwent operation for his cataract, however, and he received a pacemaker.He remained active, especially with graphic art, including
posters, to his 90th birthday in April 1983.He then made his last poster, for an exhibition in Palma deMallorca. We, his admirers, were there, but Joan Miro´ was ill and could not attend. He died Christmas day, 1983.
It was necessary for me to continue collecting posters for another 10 years to be certain that I had found all of the posters Miro´ had produced. He liked that his art could be seen by many people, so he produced as many new posters during the last 10 years of his life as he had during his first 80 years. The large volume of Miro´ ’s late output meant that I had to work hard to follow his production. I met him regularly on his birthdays and tried to attend the inaugurations of his expositions (Fig. 3). The problem
was that some posters were published in Japan,the US, and Mexico and the Internet was not yet available. Miro´ often supported projects for which he felt sympathy. He made posters for UNESCO,Amnesty International, and the Salvador Allende Museum, which I found thanks to good contacts with his collaborators and galleries in Barcelona,Paris and New York. Another possibility was to exchange duplicates with a German and a Norwegian collector of original posters. I met my collector friend in Oslo several times. He said I was the only person who had a chance of producing a complete collection and was kind enough to offer me 2 posters that I could not get in any other way. Generosity production of posters, he met his really large and
enthusiastic public. Humanity responded, and he became the “Miro´ of the People.”
On Miro´ ’s 100th birthday in 1993, the complete collection of his 154 original posters was exhibited at Malmo¨ Konsthall. The exhibition was a public success,with 160 000 visitors and a concert with the famous Catalan soprano Montserrat Caballe´ . On this occasion, Joan Miro´ posters affischer, by Nils Tryding and Sune Nordgren, was published. The text, in English and Swedish, includes complete data on edition,publisher, and printing process, as well as 154 full-color plates. The book is now out of print, but a second edition will be published .In 1998, the compete collection was shown as the inauguration exhibition of the new Tensta Art Gallery, Stockholm.
Among the distinguished guests was the president of Catalonia, Jordi Pujol. The collection was donated to the municipality of Kristianstad, which is now the owner. The intention is that all schoolchildren in the community will be able to see this type of art. There is a program for continuing education, and the children have exhibitions of art they have produced after being inspired by Miro´ ’s colorful posters. The collection
has also been exhibited in other places in Sweden and in Kristianstad’s friendship cities in Finland,Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, and Hungary. In 2004, I received the Culture Prize of Kristianstad,and the Regional Museum of Kristianstad now has a
Cafe´ Miro´ . Although Joan Miro´ has been dead for a long time, I still maintain good contact with his grandson, Joan. I still visit all of the important exhibitions of Miro´ ’s art, all over the world, and for 10 years I have been responsible for the travel program
for members of the Swedish Society for Elderly Doctors.Several of the 50 trips I have initiated and guided included visits to museums with important Miro´ art work: Fundacio´ Joan Miro´ Barcelona (http://www.fundaciomiro-bcn.org/); Fundacio´ Pilar i Joan Miro´ Palm de Mallorca (http://www.mallorcaweb.com/reports/museums/pilar-and-joan-miro-foundation-inpalma/);
