Joan Miro
Biography
|
|
Among the great 20th Century
painters stands the work of Joan Miro. Born in Catalonia, Spain and
renowned all over the world for his unique and instantly recognisable
style of painting, he was taught by Francisc Gali at an art school in
Barcelona.
Miro constantly pushed the boundaries of form and
conception with his surrealist style. He made outspoken comments such as
wanting to "Assassinate painting", being fuelled by the same energy, and
dissatisfaction with conventional painting methods which caused Marcel
Duchamp to add a moustache to the Mona Lisa.
It was not until
1930 ten years after Miro had made his mark as a painter that he
produced his first Lithograph, his first etching came two years later,
his love of lithography is evident by only being surpassed in output by
Picasso. Miro added more of a personal touch to his Lithographs by
personally choosing his paper type and overseeing production.
