Joan Miro

Joan Miro on the WWW






 
Joan Miro was born in Montroig, near Barcelona, Spain, on April 20, 1893. He was one of the foremost exponents of abstract and surrealist art. From 1924 on he was a key figure in the circle of Andre Breton and other surrealists. Throughout the late 1920s and '30s, Miro experimented with ever freer compositions whose organization results from the interplay of their individual elements rather than from a schema imposed from the outside. After executing a group of paintings reflecting the anguish and tragedy of the Spanish Civil War, Miro turned his intensely individualistic style to ceramics, tapestry design, and mural painting--fields to which he made significant contributions after World War II. Joan Miro died on December 25th, 1983.
