Description

The early works of Spanish-born Joan Miro shows wide-ranging influences, including the bright colors of the Fauves, the broken form of Cubism and the two-dimensionality of the Catalan folk art. In his early 20s, he settled in Paris, where he met Picasso and fell under the influence of the Surrealist poets and writers. Miro drew on memory and fantasy to create works of visual metaphor. During the 90 years of Miro's life, he made at least 2,000 oil paintings, 500 sculptures, 400 ceramic objects and 5,000 drawings and collages.
