Joan Miro I Ferra (20 April 1893 – 25Decemer 1983) known in the art world as Joan Miro was a Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramicist born in Barcelona into a family of a goldsmith and a watchmaker in the Barri Gotic neighbourhood. He studied at the Cerce Artistic de Sant Lluc and had his first solo show in 1918 at the Galeries Dalmau, where his work was ridiculed and defaced. Inspired by Fauve and Cubist exhibitions in Barcelona and abroad, Miro was drawn towards the arts community that was gathering in Montparnasse and moved to Paris in 1920, but continued to spend his Summers in his native Catalonia.
In Paris, under the influence of poets and writers, he developed his unique style: organic forms and flattened picture-planes drawn with a sharp line. Generally thought of as a Surrealist because of his interest in automatism and the use of sexual symbols, Miro’s style clearly shows in varying degrees the influence of Dada and Surrealism. But Miro himself rejected the idea of belonging to any specific art movement in his pronouncements in the inter-war period.
It has been established through the analysis of Miro’s personal writings that he had experienced multiple episodes of depression throughout his life. There appears to be a clear connection between his mental health and his paintings; he saw artistic creations as a way of dealing with his mental health issues.
After he gained international recognition, commentator have interpreted Miro’s work as Surrealism but imbued with a personal style, at times showing a veering towards Fauvism and Expressionism. Miro was known for his interest in the unconscious or subconscious mind, represented in his creation of child-like images. Although Miro’s artistic creations are hard to categorise, they often manifest his pride in his Catalan heritage.
From 1930 onwards, Miro often expressed his contempt for traditional painting methods and regarded them as a way to supporting bourgeois society. His oft-quoted interest in ‘assassination of painting’ has its origin in his dislike of bourgeois art, which he believed was used as a wat to promote propaganda and identity among the wealthy.
He had little time for art critics. Miro once expressed his dislike for art critics in the following words: ‘They are more concerned with being philosophers than anything else. They form a preconceived opinion, then they look at the work of art. Painting merely serves as a cloak to wrap up their emaciated philosophical systems’.
Miro has been a significant influence on late 20-th century art, in particular on American Expressionist artists like Calder, Motherwell and Pollock and also recent painters like Hatton. His lyrical abstractions and colour painting inspired artists who embraced those styles such as Frankenthaler and Olitski.
His work also had an impact on modern designers like Rand and Day

- Olympic Games Munich 1972 Limited Edition Signed by Artist Jacob LawrenceLocated in Pewsey, GBRare Olympic Games Munich 1972 Limited Edition 'Poster entitled 'Five Black Athletes in a Relay Race' signed by Jacob Lawrence Dimension: Sheet Size: Length 109.5 × 69.5 cm Image Size: Length: 87 × 64 cm Edition Size: 200 Edition Number: 24 marked in pencil by Jacob Lawrence Signed: Jacob Lawrence 71 in pencil by Jacob Lawrence Serigraph – Screenprint Printed words on the left hand corner of the sheet read as follows: © Edition Olympia 1972 Gmbh 1971 Dietz Officin Lengmoos Bold colours fresh and vibrant as when originally issued Slight ruffling of the paper in a small section of the bottom of the sheet and two minor spots of foxing at the bottom border of the sheet. Overall condition: Very good for age Jacob Lawrence was one of a number of artists who were invited to design posters for the 1972 Olympic Games held in Munich. He created an image to commemorate the involvement of black athletes in the Olympic Games, as track was a field in which they had traditionally excelled. This iconic poster depicts five black runners with grimacing faces take giant strides around a large, curving track as they head toward the finish line. They hold batons in their hands to show that they are competing in relay race. Each athlete is shown with his arms, legs, and head in a slightly different position, one has his head back and his right leg stretched forward, almost straight. Lawrence used bold colours to depict the runners' stylised faces and legs as well as the repeated shapes of the track. Lawrence combined the flat, simplified shapes and empty spaces of modernism with silhouetted figures and the rhythmic patterns and colours of Harlem scenes. He labelled his pictorial style 'dynamic cubism'. Lawrence's poster embraces several themes: a) the intensity of competition in a relay race with invariably dramatic endings; b) memories of the African American athlete, Jesse Owens' four gold medals, including one as a member of the 400-metre relay team, won at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin in the face of Nazi claims of racial superiority; and c) the determination of African Americans to compete on the world stage after centuries of discrimination in their home-country. Biographical Details of the Artist Jacob Lawrence was born in Atlanta City, New Jersey, in 1917 as his family travelled north, part of the Great Migration of people from the South. After his parents split up, his mother moved the family to Harlem where a movement known as the Harlem Renaissance was flourishing. Lawrence studied painting the Harlem Art Workshop and received much encouragement from African American artists, Augusta Savage and Charles Alston and art critic, Alain Locke. He received national recognition at the age of twenty-three with The Migration of the Negro, an exhibition of sixty paintings about the Great Migration. This series was so admired that both the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., wanted to buy them. Eventually, it was divided between the two museums. During World War II, Lawrence was drafted into the U.S. Coast Guard, where he served on the first integrated ship and was promoted to a rank higher than the steward's mate. After the war, his career included commissions for murals and a Time magazine cover; teaching positions at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and the University of Washington in Seattle. Among the awards Lawrence received in his distinguished are the following: Spingarn Medal (1970), the Us National Medal of Arts (1990), Algur H Meadows Award for Excellence (1996) and The Washington Medal of Art (1998) The 1972 Munich poster...Category
