About The Artist
Joan Miró i Ferrà, a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramist born in Barcelona in 1893, was known professionally as Joan Miró. He gained international recognition for his work, which is often seen as Surrealist but with a unique style that occasionally leaned towards Fauvism and Expressionism. Miró was known for his interest in the unconscious mind, evident in his childlike art, and his works often reflected his Catalan heritage. Throughout his career, Miró openly criticized traditional painting methods, which he believed supported bourgeois society, and he famously called for an "assassination of painting" to challenge conventional visual elements.
