It is from the “Quelques Fleurs” portfolio. This print is a paradigm of his work and artistic expression. He is an important bridge between Surrealism and abstraction. His works are noted for their freshness, body language, and deep meanings. His best known period of work began in the early 1960s where he began receiving many public work commissions. Miró developed a unique visual language by combining abstract elements, specific colors, and reoccurring motifs. His time in Paris in the 1920s and subsequent exposure to Surrealism helped develop his style into the eccentric and symbolic works he is best known for. Miró’s passionate rejection of traditional painting led him to reference and experiment with multiple styles including Cubism, Dutch Baroque, and Fauvism. Miro had an incredibly prolific career and created artwork in an array of media until the time of his death in 1983.Ī museum dedicated to his work, the Joan Miró Foundation, was established in his native city of Barcelona in 1975, and another, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró Foundation, was established in his adoptive city of Palma de Mallorca in 1981. Miró’s works, which were at the intersection between Surrealism and abstraction, began receiving international attention in the 1920s. He is renowned internationally as a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist. Joan Miró is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
