“El poema de san Francisco de Asís y la pintura del artista catalán mantienen una estrecha afinidad, ambos proclaman la solemne humildad de las cosas de la tierra, ambos, en mundos culturales y espirituales muy diferentes, nos ofrecen esa presencia y consistencia sin las cuales lo material y cotidiano parece superficial y anodino. El cántico eleva la voz de la poesía y de la pintura, no sólo en las imágenes que suscitó el poema de san Francisco de Asís en 1975, también en las pinturas, esculturas y obras sobre papel que Miró había hecho y estaba haciendo entonces. La minuciosa representación de las criaturas más humildes y de los detalles mínimos había sido una de las constantes del arte mironiano desde 1917 y 1918.” (Catalogue note for the exposition “Cantic del Sol” at the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Español, https://museoph.org/exposicion/cantic-del-sol).
Cramer, 196.
