Joan Miro, artist and art
Born Apr 20 1893, Birth Barcelona, Spain.
Died Dec 25 1983 deathPalma de Mallorca.
Arriving in Paris in 1920, some years the junior of the likes of Picasso and Matisse, Miro had a great deal to catch up on, and his zigzagcourses between the poles of abstraction and surrealism, his handling of cubism (from which he learned a great deal, though he set out “to smash [the Cubists’] guitar”), his response to dadism and the fermenting movements of the time, required a pugilistic determination as well as skill and artistic integrity.
