Published to accompany the exhibition showing in Avignon this summer, this book presents an ensemble of recent works by acclaimed Spanish artist Miquel Barcelo. Jean Clottes, anthropologist and pre-history specialist, explores the instinctive and technical dimension in Barcelos work; Alberto Manguel contributes an essay on ten years of artistic creation, from solitary studio paintings, monumental commissions and the Palma Cathedral to the massive domed ceiling at the United Nations in Geneva. Finally, Eric Mezil interviews the artist, the fruit of long conversations held in Paris, Majorca and Avignon.
