...Miro's talent for oscillating between the general and the particular was his series of 23 modestly sized paintings known, collectively, as the Constellations, most of which he painted in Mallorca, after fleeing from occupied France, in 1940-41. MOMA has managed to assemble all of them -- a real feat of curatorial borrowing power. The recurrent shapes in these are two black forms -- the circle and a bow tie, or diabolo -- which overlap and dance in deep space in swarms, with uncanny and magical precision, alternating with other signs from his repertoire: eye, face, star, vagina, hairs, moon, bird.

Rather than letting the war play out on his inner stage, he becomes a bit player in a colossal drama. "There were many ways of going...
...didn't think possible. In 2007 he gave an official response to the State of the Union speech that was not only worth watching but also more interesting than President Bush's turgid offering. And now he has written a policy book that is actually worth reading, an unprecedented feat for a sitting politician...
