About the author:
Joan Miró (1893-1983) was a prominent Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramicist. He attended the Escuelade Bellas Artes, where Pablo Picasso had studied twelve years before him. His teachers were enthusiastic about his talent, but Miró suffered from depression and nervous problems. After staying at a rural estate in Mont-roig del Camp, he definitively decided to become a painter. He studied at the School of Art in Barcelona and subsequently became acquainted with Surrealism, which significantly influenced his work. Miró was known for his distinctive style – combining abstraction with poetic elements. His works are full of color and rhythm, which he created with geometric shapes. Miró became a close friend of Pablo Picasso, who supported him in his artistic endeavors. He was active in the Surrealist movement, but his approach to it was different. While other Surrealists focused on the dreamlike and hallucinatory aspects, Miró let himself be guided by his own imagination. He created numerous graphic works, including lithographs. During World War II, his works became a reaction to political events, especially in his native Spain. Later, he moved to Normandy and created several significant murals. Joan Miró was an important artist of the 20th century whose work influenced the modern art scene.
