Joan Miró Ferrà

Joan Miró Ferrà (Barcelona, April 20, 1893 – Palma, Mallorca, December 25, 1983) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramist, considered one of the greatest representatives of surrealism. In his work he reflected his interest in the subconsciousness and his country. His first works show strong fauvist, cubist and expressionist influences, evolving towards a more flat painting, as is his well-known painting La masia, (1921-1922), which represents family’s summer vacation home in Mont-roig del Camp. After his stay in Paris, his work became more dreamlike, coinciding with the guidelines of surrealism but without ever formally joining this movement. More
