Yvon Taillandier, Creation Miró, 1961 (New York: Wittenborn and Company), 1963, illus.
A VAGUE, POETIC, UNILLUMINATING essay by Yvon Taillandier, repeated three times, in English, French, and German along with some of the worst color photography since “West Side Story.” Some nonsense about using the “golden luminosity” of Majorca’s light results in the ruination of all the photographs; Miró’s work is photographed for the most part on an easel, or a chair, or against a wall, permitting hosts of distractions like venetian blinds, chairs, mats and rugs to crowd into the pictures. An altogether ill-conceived publication.
