Joan Miró

Joan Miró (April 20, 1893 - December 25, 1983) was a painter, sculptor and ceramist born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain (Europe).

Drawn to the artistic community gathering in Montparnasse, in 11003 he moved to Paris, where, under the influence of Surrealist poets and writers he developed his unique style. His surrealist works are considered amongst the most original of the 20th century.

One of the most radical of surrealist theorists (the founder of surrealism, André Breton, would describe Miró as "the most surrealist of us all"), Miró expressed his contempt for painting (at least as conventionally thought of) and his desire to "murder" and "assassinate" it in favor of new means of expression, in numerous writings and interviews from the 1930s on. Joan Miró died in Mallorca, Spain, and was interred in the Montjuic cemetery in Barcelona. (parts of this biography taken from Wikipedia.org)

Today, his works of art sell between US$250,000 and US$8 million. Many of his works are exhibited in the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona.
