Joan Miró Art

Catalan, 1893-1983

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.”

Boy with Red Sun
By Joan Miró
Located in Cambridge, ON
Joan Miró rejected the constraints of traditional painting, creating works “conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness,” as he once said. Widely considered one of the leading Surrealists, though never officially part of the group, Miró pioneered a wandering linear style of Automatism—a method of “random” drawing that attempted to express the inner workings of the human psyche. Miró used color and form in a symbolic rather than literal manner, his intricate compositions combining abstract elements with recurring motifs like birds, eyes, and the moon. “I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music,” he said. While he prized artistic freedom, Miró revered art history, basing a series of works on the Dutch Baroque interiors of Hendrick Sorgh and Jan Steen. In turn, Miró has inspired many artists—significantly Arshile Gorky, whose bold linear abstractions proved a foundational influence on Abstract Expressionism. Spanish, 1893–1983, Barcelona, Spain, based in Paris and Catalonia, Spain.

ANISH KAPOOR - MOIRÉ. Limited edition etching Hand signed. Contemporary, Modern
By Anish Kapoor
Located in Madrid, Madrid
ANISH KAPOOR MOIRÉ 4 Date of creation: 2015 Medium: Etching on paper Edition: 39 Size: 96 x 72.4 cm Condition: In perfect conditions, brand new Etching on paper hand signed and numbered by the artist on the back. This work belongs to a limited edition of only 39 copies. Edited by Paragon Press, UK. ABOUT THE ARTIST Anish Kapoor is an influential British sculptor and contemporary artist of Indian origin. He was born on March 12, 1954 in Bombay, India, into a family of Indian and Iraqi descent. Throughout his career, Kapoor has made a significant mark on the contemporary art world with his innovative and provocative work, which explores themes of form, color, space and perception. Kapoor moved to London in the 1970s to study at the prestigious Hornsey College of Art and later at the Chelsea School of Art Design. His initial artistic training was influenced by minimalism and conceptual art, but he soon developed his unique and distinctive style. One of the most notable characteristics of Kapoor's work is his focus on sculpture. He often works with unusual and challenging materials, such as wax, stone, steel and plaster, to create sculptures that challenge traditional notions of form and space. His works often take on organic and geometric forms, and are characterized by their highly polished finish and use of color, especially red and black. In the 1980s, Kapoor became famous for his series of shell-shaped sculptures known as "Queen Sculptures...
