JOAN MIRÓ I FERRÀ (1893 Barcelona – 1983 Palma de Mallorca)
Spanish painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramist, one of the representatives of surrealism. In his work he reflected his interest in the subconscious, the "childish" and his country. In numerous interviews and writings dating back to the 1930s, Miró expressed his desire to abandon conventional methods of painting, in his own words "killing, murdering or raping them", in favor of a form of expression that was contemporary.
In his work, Miró used different painting techniques, some of them very unusual: oil, casein, eggs, enamel and tar, often including collage, sand or other objects.
Throughout his life, Miró developed an extensive activity as an engraver that he learned in the workshop of Louis Marcoussis. At this time the artist basically worked with two plates of two different colors, later during his stay in New York he delved deeper into the technique, which can be seen in the use of colors. In his works from his later period, the influence of American painting and Japanese calligraphy is noticeable.

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.”

January-February 1961". Manufactured in Spain, circa 1961. In original condition with minor wear consistent of age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Materials: Paper Dimensions: D 0.1 cm x W 50 cm x H 70 cm. This original historical poster was edited for the exhibition of drawings by Pablo Picasso that took place in the Sala Gaspar, which was the official representative of the artist in Spain. Limited edition. PABLO PICASSO (Málaga, 1881 – Mougnis, 1973). One of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century, his art left a profound impact on the development of modern and contemporary art. He was born into the family of the painter José Luís Blasco, who influenced the young artist's introduction to art. For a few years, Picasso lived in La Coruña, Barcelona and Madrid (where he studied at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts). At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th he began to travel to Paris until, in 1904, he decided to settle in the French capital. His art is traditionally divided into several periods, although their names are still disputed by many art historians: The Blue Period, The Pink Period, the Proto-Cubist Period where the influence of African art is obvious, Cubism - which is divided into Analytical and Synthetic Cubism -, Neoclassicism, Surrealism and Expressionism. Pablo Picasso and the Gaspar family met in 1955 and from that moment the Sala Gaspar became an important center for the dissemination of Picasso's art in Spain...Category
