Joan Miró was a Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist and ceramist from Catalonia. He is considered one of the greatest surrealists. Miró was the son of a goldsmith and watchmaker. He initially received a commercial education, but in 1912 he began an art education in Barcelona. In 1920 he moved to Paris where he took classes at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. In Paris Miró befriended Picasso, Max Ernst, Hans Arp and Magritte and was influenced by Cubism. Like Picasso and Georges Braque, Miró never pursued the conclusions of Cubism to the point of complete abstraction. His forms, however alienating, always refer back to reality - to concrete reality, or to reality as it exists during a dream.

Very good condition.
