Artist: Joan Miro
Nationality: Spanish
Born: Barcelona 1893
Died: Majorca 1983
Bio: Born the son of a goldsmith and watchmaker, Miro received art lessons at La Escuela de la Lonja Academy. A breakdown during 1910/11 convinced Miro's father that he is not suited to business and his love of art is encouraged.
During 1920 Miro made his first trip to Paris and a visit to Picasso's studio. The same year he exhibited alongside Picasso, Matisse, Gris and Braque at the 'Avant-garde French Art . During 1925 he saw some of Paul Klee's in Paris and was inspired further.
A man of few words, many of Miro's images were considered naive or childlike, yet his works are full of humor, nature and playfulness. |
