The book brings Tony's memories to life with beautiful reproductions of some of Miró's finest works, as well as evocative archival photography by Lee Miller and specially commissioned artworks in the style of Miró, painted by children. We see the renowned painter from a new perspective, as the slightly eccentric visitor to Tony's childhood home, during an excursion to Miró's farm--filled with extraordinary creatures--and on a trip to London Zoo, during which Miró asked to see \"large birds, snakes, and strange creatures of the night.\" Vibrant design and playful typography make the package as appealing as the story, and round out the feeling that we're immersed in Tony's adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9.1 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756312592672,"sku":"9780500650660","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1a0adfbb3b93e3fd6e22c148c5454776.webp?v=1780078633","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/miros-magic-animals-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
