- Real Imagination -
A creature that seems to oscillate between bird and fish appears to be devouring another creature. Both "animals" are connected by the yellow background. Although a particular action is depicted, no story is told. Instead, viewers are given as much freedom as possible to make their own associations. This imaginative potential lends lyrical intensity to the magical yet strange world, the energy of which is expressed through color.
About the artist
Joan Miró is considered one of the most important figures of the avant-garde and Surrealism. His style is characterized by a combination of abstract forms, vivid colors, and surrealistic motifs that are often reminiscent of children's drawings or folk art.
Born in Barcelona to a goldsmith, Miró initially pursued a career in commerce. Initially, he completed a commercial apprenticeship before devoting himself entirely to painting. In 1912, he began studying at the Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi in Barcelona. His early works show influences of Cubism, Fauvism, and Expressionism. In 1920, he moved to Paris, where he joined the Surrealist movement and collaborated with artists such as Picasso and Max Ernst. His Surrealist pieces, including Carnival of Harlequin, became significant contributions to the movement. He also designed sets for the Russian Ballet and created numerous graphic works. His work is exhibited in renowned museums around the world, including the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and the Tate Modern in London. In 1956, Miró relocated his primary residence to Palma de Mallorca, where he lived until his death. He remained artistically active into old age, creating numerous works until his death.

- Reale Imagination -
Ein zwischen Vogel und Fisch changierendes Wesen scheint sich ein anderes Wesen einzuverleiben, wobei beide ‚Tiere‘ durch den gelben Hintergrund miteinander verbunden sind. Auch wenn eine gewisse Handlung evoziert wird, wird doch keine Bildgeschichte erzählt. Vielmehr soll den Assoziationen ein möglichst großer Freiraum gegeben werden. Das Imaginationspotenzial verleiht der magisch-zauberhaften und doch fremden Welt eine lyrische Intensität, deren Energie in den Farben freigesetzt wird.
zum Künstler
Joan Miró gilt als eine der wichtigsten Figuren der Avantgarde und des Surrealismus. Sein Stil zeichnet sich durch eine Kombination aus abstrakten Formen, lebendigen Farben und surrealistischen Motiven aus, die oft an Kinderzeichnungen oder Volkskunst erinnern.
Miró wurde als Sohn eines Goldschmiedes in Barcelona geboren. Er absolvierte zunächst eine kaufmännische Ausbildung, bevor er sich ganz der Malerei widmete. 1912 begann er ein Studium an der Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi i Barcelona. Seine frühen Arbeiten zeigen Einflüsse des Kubismus, Fauvismus und Expressionismus. 1920 zog Miró nach Paris, wo er sich der surrealistischen Bewegung anschloss und mit Künstlern wie Picasso und Max Ernst zusammenarbeitete. Seine surrealistischen Werke, wie beispielsweise "Karneval des Harlekins", wurden zu bedeutenden Werken der Bewegung. Er arbeitete auch an Bühnenbildern für das Russische Ballett und schuf zahlreiche Grafiken. Seine Werke sind in renommierten Museen auf der ganzen Welt ausgestellt, darunter die Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, das MoMA in New York und die Tate Modern in London. 1956 verlegte Miró seinen Hauptwohnsitz nach Palma de Mallorca, wo er bis zu seinem Tod lebte. Er war bis ins hohe Alter künstlerisch tätig und schuf bis zu seinem Tod zahlreiche Werke.
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.”
