{"product_id":"mirs-magic-animals","title":"Mirs Magic Animals","description":"\u003cp\u003eA unique look at the work of a great artist as seen through the eyes of a child As might be expected of the son of photographer Lee Miller and writer Roland Penrose, Antony Penroses childhood was populated with some of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Mirs Magic Animals is a delightful story, chronicling Antony Tonys encounters with the great Spanish artist Joan Mir.Tony introduces Mir as a quiet, kind, and smartly dressed man who dreamed when he was awake and painted wonderfully strange worlds filled with magical animals. The book brings Tonys memories to life with beautiful reproductions of some of Mirs finest works, as well as evocative archival photography by Lee Miller and specially commissioned artworks in the style of Mir, painted by children. We see the renowned painter from a new perspective, as the slightly eccentric visitor to Tonys childhood home, during an excursion to Mirs farmfilled with extraordinary creaturesand on a trip to London Zoo, during which Mir 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 were immersed in Tonys adventure.
