Native of Barcelona, Spain, Joan Miro was originally a Fauvist. In the 1920's Miro was introduced to Surrealism, depicting the relationship between art and the subconscious.
Spanish Catalan painter Joan Miro was a sculptor and ceramist born in Barcelona.
Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind and a re-creation of the childlike. He was called an "assassination of painting" in favor of upsetting the visual elements of already established painting styles.
