Antoni Miró (Alcoi, 1944) has been a crucial painter in the Catalan artistic world for the last few decades. His works are clearly indebted to literature and particularly poetry. It is easy to detect in his works traces of poets and essayists such as Ausiàs March, Joan Valls, Joan Fuster, Salvador Espriu, Vicent Andrés Estellés, and Miquel Martí i Pol. They show the expressive similarities between his works and those by poets". In an ideological sense, we have to highlight the big influence of Joan Fuster in the painter's intellectual education. Thus, we can speak about certain osmosis between the writers whom the painter is interested in and the ones he has a personal relationship with. Within this creative process it's especially interesting to deal with the task Antoni Miró carried out in the pictorial collection «Pinteu Pintura» (1980-1990), a group of works that are the expression of a same purpose: the use of themes and images from classic painters, such as Velázquez or Goya, or modern ones, such as Dalí or Miró, among others. The objective of this article is to analyze these relations between painting and literature.
