This is a Joan Miro ('Cabeca', I think), currently on show at Serralves, Porto.

It returns me to the subject of M John Harrison, maps, self, and 'The Sunken Land Begins To Rise Again'.

A fragment of map - rising or falling? The rest of it subsumed under a tar-like coating, an almost desperate blotting out.

This, opposite one of his 'burnt' canvases, was a real thrill.
