Joan+Miro



Miro was a Spanish painter. Born in Barcelona he lived to be 100. His early career was that of an average painter painting still lifes and landscapes. The, upon moving to Paris he discovered Fauvism, Cubism and Surrealism. This is where he made his mark. He redefined space and objects. His work was mostly non-objective though he could never ket go of some representation of the real world. He created and recreated shapes and forms. His line explored all the of ways a line could be a line. though his work was dream like in character the use of representation, a do, a clown, a singer, kept him rooted in the real world. His palette was usually limited to a few colors and retained in many pieces, a chromatic sensibility. There seems to be no difference for him working in oil, watercolor or drawing. he explored constantly and time as in his painting had no meaning, work came first and last, exploration was endless.
