(*) Joan Miró (1893-1983) was born in Barcelona, where he grew up and began his artistic studies. He attended the La Llotja academy against his parents’ wishes, who wanted him to work in a more traditional manner. He later studied at the Escola d'Art de Francesc Galí and met the Fauves and the Cubists. His emotional landscapes, which shaped him as a person and as an artist, are essentially Mont-roig, Paris, Mallorca and later New York and Japan. Mont-roig, a small town in the Baix Camp region, would be the counterpoint to the intellectual agitation he experienced in Paris, where he moved in the twenties with the surrealist poets and the most creative artists of his time. There he came to know Arp, Magritte, Brancusi and Giacometti and exhibited with Dalí, Tanguy, Meret Oppenheim and Max Ernst in several exhibitions on Dadaism and Surrealism. The stimulus of abstract expressionism was discovered in New York in the forties. Later, in 1956, in the midst of World War II, Joan Miró would leave his exile in France and settle in Palma de Mallorca, a space of refuge and work, where his friend Josep Lluís Sert would design the workshop he had always dreamed of. There he focused on sculpture and ceramics, until his death in 1983. Rooted in the landscapes of Mont-roig first and Mallorca later, it would be decisive in his work. The connection with the earth and his interest in everyday objects and the surrounding natural environment would form the background of some of his technical and formal explorations. Miró fled from academicism, in constant search of a global and pure work, not affiliated with any particular movement. Content in the shapes and in public manifestations, it is through the plastic act that Joan Miró shows his rebellion and a great sensitivity to the political and social events surrounding him. This tension of forces led him to create a unique and highly personal language that places him among the most influential artists of the twentieth century.
