Abstract

The article rearms Carl Einstein's essays about Joan Miró. Thus, it highlights the intent of Negerplastik author to precise a current and alive mythology, founded in Cubism thematic and formal aspects. It contributes, like this, to a figurative expression of those creative action forces that flare up, sometimes archaics spiritual layers, sometimes that which was sepulchred until the present. The alucination, the metamorphosis, the primitivism are, hence, capital aesthetics principles, with which Einstein outlines a Miró of prehistoric simplicity that conduces us to a contemporaneity each time more archaic.
