1 “I feel the need of attaining the maximum of intensity with the minimum of means. It is this which has led me to give my painting a character of even greater bareness.” -Joan Miró Jesi Parker November 8, 2012

2 Born: April 20, 1893 in Barcelona, Spain. Died: December 25, 1983. At 14, Miró entered and studied in two schools of art, including the School of Industrial and Fine Arts. Miró traveled to many places including Holland, Paris, and the United States. Childhood- Basically, Miró took art classes, but his parents would have rather seen him making a living from a successful business career. He took business classes along with art classes. He worked as an accountant for 2 years and had a nervous breakdown. His parents finally accepted that he wanted to be an artist, although they didn’t offer him much support. Miró was born as the son of a goldsmith and jewelry maker in Barcelona in Northern Spain. The Life of Joan Miró

3 Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramist Miró combined abstract art with Surrealist fantasy to create his lithographs, murals, tapestries, and sculptures for public spaces. Styles of Art

4 He was very popular. It didn't take long for him to meet the greats of his time including Cubist Picasso and Surrealist André Breton. Moving in all the right circles, Miró began to gain respect. I did not find anything about any scandals/conflicts with his work. Miró won many awards for different pieces of artwork Miró’s work is sold today, however, I did not find any information about exhibitions. Career/Professional Life

5 The Village of Prades – 1917 This is a painting of the Village of Prades and the fields surrounding it. Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY Style: Fauvism

6 Vegetable Garden with Donkey – 1918 This is a simple painting of a garden scene Style: Surrealism Location: Stockholm, Sweden

7 Harlequin's Carnival 1924 I imagine this painting depicts a room filled with animals and different objects. Some objects look random. Location: Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY Style: Surrealism

8 The Nightingale's Song at Midnight and the Morning Rain 1940 This picture consists of different shapes connected together in an odd pattern Location: Perls Galleries, New York, NY Style: Surrealism

9 I love the way he uses colors in his paintings.Miró aimed to create intricate artwork, using simple ideas and colors. The gives each piece simplicity. I really like that Miró did not try to out-do anyone else, but created simple art that would draw the attention of many. My favorite work on art by Joan Miró would have to be The Village of Prades because I like the colors used, and the soft look of the painting. Miró’s art:
