Joan Miró was one of the creative giants of twentieth 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 he spent much 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 reason and logic.

In the works of Miró we have an inexhaustible source of sheer optical pleasure. They take us on visual excursions into worlds natural and un-natural, human and cosmic, childlike and unfathomable. They express a complex and ironic view of things and deal with elemental powers and impulses – all by means of images, whether drawn from nature and the visible world or from the artist’s subconscious – crystallized into Miró’s unique iconography.

The creative philosophy of Joan Mir贸 is perhaps best summed up in his own words: To express with precision all the golden sparks the soul gives off.

During a long and productive career, Mir贸 was one of the undisputed masters of twentieth century art.
