Joan Miro Biography
Joan Miro was born in Barcelona, northern Spain, in 1893. Here he studied art at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts at the same time as undertaking business studies. He took a job as a clerk after finishing his studies, but following a nervous breakdown he abandoned the business world and returned to studying art, this time at the Academia Gali.
He first visited Paris in 1920, where he met Pablo Picasso and became involved with surrealist artists, coming under the influence of Andre Breton. He had his first solo show in Paris in 1921 and took part in the first Surrealist exhibition in Paris in 1925. He had divided his time between Paris and Spain, but had to leave Spain in 1936 due to the Civil War.
He experimented with lithography and etching in the early 1930s, and in 1936 was included in the exhibition ‘Cubism and Abstract Art’ at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 1941 he began working in ceramics, and concentrating more on printmaking. He received the Grand Prize for Graphic Work at the Venice Biennale in 1954 and from that year started to concentrated almost exclusively on printmaking and ceramics.
He resumed painting in 1959 and then began to work extensively in sculpture. There was a major retrospective of his work in 1978 at the Musee National d'Art Moderne, displaying over 500 of his works. Miro died on Christmas Day 1983 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
