The author, guest curator of an exhibition of the ceramics of Miró for a small Toronto museum, describes the planning and organizing of the exhibition from the beginning until the opening week. Besides outlining some of the crucial difficulties and decisions that ensued, she draws attention to the unusual way in which Miró worked in partnership with a renowned Catalan potter, and points to the allusions in his ceramics to mediaeval Catalan art, Irish naive sculpture, and, at Laura Malvano’s suggestion, to an important painting by Piero della Francesca. ; L’autore racconta le peripezie di una mostra sulle ceramiche di Miró da lei curata per un piccolo museo di Toronto. Nel far questo, il contributo fa luce su alcuni aspetti meno noti del modo di lavorare dell’artista catalano, sui materiali che utilizzava, sulle persone dalle quali era circondato nel corso del suo lavoro creativo, su certe fonti della sua ispirazione. Viene evocato anche un suggerimento di Laura Malvano relativo a una figura ricorrente nell’opera di scultore di Miró. ; L’auteure raconte les péripéties d’une exposition de céramiques de Miró dans un petit musée de Toronto, dont elle fut le commissaire. Ce faisant, elle nous donne des renseignements fort intéressants sur les matériaux qu’utilisait l’artiste catalan, sur son environnement humain, sur certaines sources de son inspiration. Elle évoque en particulier une hypothèse de Laura Malvano sur une figure récurrente de son œuvre plastique, figure qui semble renvoyer à un tableau de Piero della Francesca.
