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.”

Adam and Eve
By Salvador Dalí
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Salvador Dali (1904-1989) is Surrealism's most accomplished and iconic practitioner. His work is eccentric, elaborate, and mysterious, with an avant-garde style that explores the depths of consciousness and dream-like states.
Prolific and endlessly inventive, Dali worked in almost every possible artistic medium; film, sculpture, photography, fashion and of course painting. Some of his earliest etchings date to the 1930's, as he worked in the graphic arts at the beginning of his career.
"Adam & Eve" comes from a series called "Our Historical Heritage." The portfolio depicts eleven events and historical figures from the Hebrew scriptures (the Torah or Old Testament), including Noah's Ark, Joseph, Moses, and more. This portfolio emphasizes Dali's influence by religious themes, and is created with his signature mastery and style.
This etching depicts the pivotal moment in the biblical story, when temptation strikes Adam and Eve, as they sit in the Garden of Eden and are lured to the lustrous forbidden fruit hanging from the tree of knowledge. Eve's hand wraps around the apple while Adam's reaches for it, as the serpent watches...
