Joan Miró || Painter of another reality and creator of a theatre of dreams

Joan Miró was born in 1893 in Barcelona and was a Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramicist.

Most of his work has been interpreted as Surrealism with a touch of his personal style and a manifestation of Catalan pride and is also sometimes veering into Fauvism and Expressionism.

He has had a significant influence on the late 20th-century art and its artists such as Motherwell, Calder, Gorky, Pollock, Matta and Rothko.

Two museums are dedicated to his work: the Fundació Joan Miró and the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró.

He died in 1983 at the age of 90 years because suffered from heart failure.
