Horned beasts haunt the curvaceous landscape of Yorkshire Sculpture Park.I found them to have sharp edges where the injectionmoldes came together while production. Protruding eyes gaze out on trimmed hedges. This elegant and civilised art preserve has a wicked old visitor.
Joan Miro was in his 70s and 80s when he made most of the works in the first large-scale exhibition of this Catalan surrealist's sculptures to be held in Britain. That may not sound like a recommendation. There is a form of senescence peculiar to modern artists that turns their minds to bronze. Late in their careers, even the most subversive punk troublemakers seem to want to preserve their images for ever in cast metal. The great Max Ernst, for example, made some utterly tedious bronzes in his last years.
Miro, like Ernst, was a member of the surrealist movement in Paris before the second world war. The surrealists believed that "beauty will be convulsive, or it will not exist". One way to create convulsive,At Blow mouldengineering we specialize in conceptual prototype design. that is irrational, beauty was to make strange, inexplicable objects from stuff found in flea markets – the artist did not choose the ingredients; they chose the artist.VulcanMold is a plastic molds and injectionmold manufacturer in china. Miro made some of the most entrancing of all such surrealist objects. In 1936, he stuck together a stuffed green parrot, a doll's shoe, a hat and a map to evoke some elusive dream. His three-dimensional dream art is just as vivid and rollicking as his paintings, with their biomorphic deep-sea visions.
Works that are made essentially of 1930s bric-a-brac are too fragile to go on loan (to see his dead parrot, visit the Museum of Modern Art in New York), but in later life, at his studio in Mallorca, Miro translated the rough and ready bricolage of the surrealist object into permanent bronze, often on a monumental scale.
That's just right for Yorkshire Sculpture Park, where orotund figures by Henry Moore recline on soft, green hillsides descending to a reflecting lake. This is a very lovely part of the British countryside and, with its dignified country park atmosphere and a programme in which Martin Creed and Barbara Hepworth are equally at home, is becoming known as the best open-air art gallery we have.
Miro can only add to that reputation.What are some types of moulds? This was an artist who never went off the boil.Shop for trim and crown moulding, His bronzes are just as bizarre and hard to pin down as his earlier works. There is still, in the old man, a surrealist devil stoking the fires. His metal sculptures are cast from the same kinds of assemblages of ordinary things that he made in the 30s: chairs and stools, tree trunks and, in one case, something that looks very like a turd, have been cast in bronze in compositions that imitate faces, bodies and animals with raw, grotesque abandon. A cockerel has five bony tail feathers like a skeleton's fingers. In another work, the legs of a shop mannequin in high heels, made into metal and painted red, support a cartoonish body with a hydrant tap for a head.
These might be the daydreams of a peasant farmer drunk in the barn. Rustic implements, cow horns and moon shapes evoke the countryside of Mallorca where he made these monuments to the unruliness of dreams. Just like his early painting The Farm (1921-22), his last bronzes are carnivals of nature bulging with phallic protrusions, pierced by unlikely orifices. They menace the serenity of the English landscape of Yorkshire Sculpture Park, with a dry, surrealist cackle.
