Joan Miró was a very famous Spanish artist who created his works in many different art forms. Joan Miró was born on April 20, 1893, in Montroig, near Barcelona, Spain.
Miró joined a group of artists called the Surrealists who were painting in a new way. Miró was part of the first Surrealist art exhibition, held in Paris in 1925.
Joan Miro's artwork can easily fall into two well known categories of art:
Abstract art- art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.
Surrealism- a kind of art in which the pictures look more like dreams than real life.
