(*) Joan Miró (1893-1983) was born in Barcelona, but 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 in the twenties alongside the surrealist poets, and to the influence of abstract expressionism he discovered in New York in the forties. Later, in the midst of World War II, Joan Miró would leave his exile in France and settle in Palma de Mallorca, a refuge and working space, where his friend Josep Lluís Sert designed the studio he had always dreamed of. Rooted in the landscape of Mont-roig first and Mallorca later, this would prove decisive in his work. The bond with the land and the interest in everyday objects and the surrounding natural environment would be the backdrop for some of his technical and formal explorations. Miró fled academia, in search of a constant global and pure work, not affiliated with any particular movement. Content in form and in public manifestations, it is through the plastic act that Joan Miró shows his defiance and a great sensitivity to the political and social events surrounding him. This clash of forces would lead him to create a unique and highly personal language that places him among the most influential artists of the twentieth century.
