Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 – Palma de Majorca, 1983) was a Catalan painter and artist. He combined Abstractionism with Surrealism. He produced many lithographs and numerous murals, tapestries, and sculptures for public spaces. In the 1920s, Miró combined detailed figures with abstract landscapes and began taking objects out from their natural contexts to reassemble them in a new mysterious way. In the 1930s, during the Spanish Civil War, he moved to France. During World War II, he returned to Spain, where he began painting the famous Constellations (1941). At the end of the 1940s, Miró traveled back and forth between Spain and France and created some of his most spontaneous artworks. After World War II, he became famous internationally, and his work was exhibited all over the world. Joan Miró was a prolific printmaker. His witty color etchings and lithographs are so beautiful as his well-known paintings. While he rejected any formal association with movements or groups, including the Surrealists, André Breton recognized him as “the most Surrealist of us all”. Miró’s graphic work includes a component of fantasy and hallucination. His artistic approach encouraged the free play of associations and envisaged “accidents” to provoke reactions closely connected to subconscious experiences. Miró’s famous motifs consist of freely reshaped fragments cut from catalogues for machinery on canvases to form black silhouettes. Even the artist could not always explain the meanings of images. They are unprompted and instinctive expressions of the little-understood and unconscious part of life.

Joan Miró
With his wide-ranging oeuvre, comprising strikingly original paintings, prints, ceramics, sculptures, metal engravings and murals, Catalan modernist Joan Miró was a critical force in moving 20th-century art toward complete abstraction. Although often considered an early Surrealist because of his nonobjective imagery and evocation of the subconscious, he defies neat categorization.
Miró’s identity is largely rooted in the city of his birth: Barcelona. To this day, a number of his public artworks can be found there, including the 72-foot-tall statue Dona i Ocell (Woman and Bird), 1983. Female and avian forms, along with bright colors and the theme of Catalan pride, are recurring elements in his work.
The radical visual world Miró created with his expressive lines, signature symbols and biomorphic shapes influenced such American Abstract Expressionists as Jackson Pollock and Color Field painters like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.
Mirò continued to work and experiment until his death at the age of 90 in 1983. Five years before that, he was quoted saying, “I painted these paintings in a frenzy, with real violence so that people will know that I am alive, that I’m breathing, that I still have a few more places to go. I’m heading in new directions.”
