Ruta 3 – Joan Miró, inspirat en Mont

From the hermitage of the Mare de Déu de la Roca, we will descend along the old path of the Hermitage, towards the village of Mont‐roig del Camp.

During the excursion we will pass by the settings of some of Miró’s works, and also by Mas Miró. The relationship between Mont‐roig and the painter Joan Miró began in 1911, from that first contact, year after year he would spend long periods of time in his farmhouse, now called Mas Miró.

After that first contact, Miró observes all the nature that appears around him, admires the work of the peasants who cultivate the land with geometric perfection, absorbs all the essence that radiates this land located between sea and mountain. And all this energy will be reflected in his work. The paintings he painted in Mont‐roig are numerous and in all of them the harmony between nature and the work of the fields stands out, it is worth saying that Mont‐roig is paramount in all Mirói’s work, “I am much happier going in a sweater and drinking in a porró among the farmers of Mont‐roig than in Paris. All my work is conceived in Mont‐roig”, said the painter.
