As for the Miró title, I wonder if it is some kind of Catalan proverb or folk rhyme, translated into French. The word pourron is not in my French dictionary, but I believe poron (or however it might be spelled) is a Catalan word for a wine container shaped rather like a gourd.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-40909054521732422882010-11-09T15:39:07.166+00:002010-11-09T15:39:07.166+00:00Fabulous issue, indeed to contain all that in one...Fabulous issue, indeed to contain all that in one place. I agree completely about the Miro. It's a strong image and hilarious title. It shares a few superifical similarities with Picasso's Guernica, but to what different effect. Francisco Bores was new to me and charming. Marcel Gromaire's works that I've seen are usually darker (literally) than this, so perhaps they need a good cleaning.Jane Librizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943563452168571716noreply@blogger.com
