Joan Miró Photography
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.”

Arnold Newman Joan Miro, Paloma, Mallorca 1979 Signed Gelatin Silver Photograph
By Joan Miró
Located in Keego Harbor, MI
An iconic gelatin silver print on paper titled “Joan Miro, Paloma, Mallorca 1979” by American artist Arnold Newman. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right and titled bottom right. An enduring photograph of an elderly Miro at 86 years old. Arguably one of the most famous artists in the Modern art movement, he is portrayed looking directly at the viewer with a slight smirk.
