JOAN MIRO
Joan Miró was a Spanish painter and sculptor who was born in 1893 in Barcelona. When he
was eight years old, he started taking drawing classes. He continued to pursue art as well as
business as he got older. He ended up leaving business behind to fully devote himself to
creating art. His early works were greatly influenced by Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Cézanne.
He moved to Paris and contributed to a very important movement in art history known as
Surrealism. Surrealism artworks showed exploration of the imagination and dream-like images.
His whimsical abstract paintings combine line, shape and color in very interesting ways. Many
of these paintings use shapes and pictures as symbols that tell stories.
