 The strange configurations of Joan Miro coming 7th June 2008
Joan Miró was one of the creative giants of 20th century art. Drawing on his fantastic universe of signs and symbols, he was able to create a magical world populated by strange configurations in vivid colours. He made many prints throughout his career, their accessibility being strongly in keeping with his socialist principles.

Miró was born in Spain in 1893, but from his mid 20s spent much of his time in Paris. His early work showed the influence of various modern movements – Fauvism, Cubism (he was a friend of Picasso) and Dadaism – but he was particularly associated with the Surrealists. Throughout his career Miró remained true to the basic Surrealist principle of releasing the creative forces of the unconscious mind from the control of logic and reason.
 Miró stood apart from other members of the Surrealist movement producing innovations in the field of abstraction while using none of the superficial devices of the other Surrealists. Much of his work has a delightful touch of playfulness although he was also able to produce work of a more sombre or savage quality like that inspired by the Spanish Civil War.

The Foundation Joan Miró was opened in 1975 on the heights of Montjuic overlooking Barcelona, his native city. It is designed both as a memorial museum, housing a collection of Miró’s works, and as a centre of artistic activity.

Miró died in 1983
