Collected in this book are a series of essays that illustrate Josep Lluís Sert's thought in relation to the integration between architecture and art and his relationship to notable figures in the art world, such as Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, and Pablo Picasso. The essays are preceded by a conversation with Sert about his personal and professional trajectory and a transcript of his talk at a symposium held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1951. These texts center the main ideas that will in time become representative of Sert's work.
Este libro recopila una serie de escritos que ilustran el pensamiento de Sert respecto a la integración entre arquitectura y arte, y dan cuenta de su relación con destacadas figuras del mundo artístico como Joan Miró, Alexander Calder o Pablo Picasso. Los textos vienen precedidos por una conversación en la que Sert hace un repaso a su trayectoria personal y profesional, y por la transcripción de su intervención en el simposio celebrado en The Museum of Modern Art, en 1951. En ambos textos se perfilan ya las principales ideas que, con el tiempo, serán representativas de su obra.
