How did Joan Miró contribute to Surrealism?
Joan Miró contributed to Surrealism by producing pieces that incorporated nonobjective imagery and evoked the subconscious. With his wide-ranging oeuvre, including strikingly original paintings, prints, ceramics, sculptures, metal engravings and murals, the Catalan modernist was a critical force in moving 20th-century art toward complete abstraction. In addition to impacting fellow Surrealists, the radical visual world Miró created with its expressive lines, signature symbols and biomorphic shapes influenced American Abstract Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock and Color Field painters like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman.
