Joan Miró i Ferrà (Catalan: [ʒuˈan miˈɾo]; 20 April 1893 – 25 December 1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city of Barcelona in 1975, and another, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, was established in his adoptive city of Palma de Mallorca in 1981.
Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.
Born into the families of a goldsmith and a watch maker, Miró grew up in the Barri Gòtic neighborhood of Barcelona. His father was Miquel Miró Adzerias and his mother was Dolors Ferrà. He began drawing classes at the age of seven at a private school at Carrer del Regomir 13, a medieval mansion. In 1907 he enrolled at the fine art academy at La Llotja, to the dismay of his father. He studied at the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc and he had his first solo show in 1918 at the Dalmau Gallery, where his work was ridiculed and defaced. Inspired by Cubist and surrealist exhibitions from abroad, Miró was drawn towards the arts community that was gathering in Montparnasse and in 1920 moved to Paris, but continued to spend his summers in Catalonia.

Après 15-20 ans, j'y reviens enfin ! The Joan Miró Foundation opened to the public on 10 June 1975. It had its origins in Miró's first large exhibition in Barcelona, in 1968, at the Antic Hospital de la Santa Creu. Several figures from the world of the arts saw the opportunity to have a space in Barcelona dedicated to the artist's work. However, in accordance with his wishes, the new institution was also to promote and publicise the work of contemporary artists in all its aspects.At a time when artistic and cultural life was certainly minimal, the Foundation brought a refreshing vitality, together with a new, more dynamic concept of an art museum in which Miró's art was shown alongside a wide variety of creative works by other artists - a fact that is reflected in the Foundation's full na...
For more information on Mallorca the Fundacio Pilar i Joan Miro and other galleries visit - http://www.seemallorca.com/sights/museums.html Miro remains one of Mallorca's favourite sons. Although not born on the island he married a Mallorcan and spent over half his life here. Most of his paintings, sculptures and ceramics now live in American and on mainland Spain but the foundation in Cala Major has a broad cross-section of his work as well as two of his studios. A must for all fans of surrealism.

Sixth Grade GT Reading Assignment about Spanish Surrealist painter Joan Miro (hwawn mee rho).
Joan Miró i Ferrà (April 20, 1893 -- December 25, 1983) was a Spanish (Catalan) painter, sculptor, and ceramist born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain to the family of a Goldsmith and Watchmaker. His work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods and his desire to "kill", "murder", or "rape" them in favor of more contemporary means of expression. Young Miró was drawn towards the arts community that was gathering in Montparnasse and in 1920 moved to Paris. There, under the influence of the poets and writers, he developed his unique style: organic forms and flattened picture planes ...

Presented September 21, 2013 at the Nasher Sculpture Center. 'Joan Miró and the Artigases: A Phantasmagoric World of Living Monsters' - Jed Morse, Chief Curator, Nasher Sculpture Center In this presentation, Jed Morse discusses the freedom Joan Miró experienced when returning to Spain, and investing in his ceramics practice which he saw as expressive of elemental, formative, childhood experiences which allowed his to re-connect with his creativity without mediation. This is in comparison to his painting practice which Miró felt was grounded in the cerebral, and best undertaken in the city. Between 1954 and 1956, Miro worked with renowned ceramicist Joseph Lorenz Artigas to produce around 230 unique sculptures which were painted and drew from both prehistoric and surrealist visual culture...
