  “I think its only the coverpage that was changed. Mine is the 1993 edition. This book has been my inspiration with my life's struggle even if im not having an artist life in the 1930's. Everytime i'm down, i read joan miro's story which inspires me to be patient, dedicated to my craft and persevere with life's challenges.”
