No concessions to Francoism

As we approach the half-century celebration of the opening of the Fundació Miró, it is worth remembering that, despite his generous connection to Barcelona, ​​the artist born in the Passage du Crèdit did not hold back on his gestures against the Franco regime. Josep Massot recalls in Joan Miró, The Boy Who Spoke to the Trees (Galaxia Gutenberg) that the artist did not attend the inauguration of his foundation on June 10, 1975, because the dictator was still alive. He did not attend until after the latter's death.
