Joan Miró (1893-1983) was born in Barcelona, but his emotional landscapes, which shaped him as a person and artist, are essentially Mont-roig, Paris, Mallorca, and later New York and Japan. Mont-roig, a small town in the Baix Camp region, will be the counterpoint to the intellectual agitation he experienced in Paris in the 1920s alongside surrealist poets, and to the stimulus of abstract expressionism he discovered in New York in the 1940s. Later, during World War II, Joan Miró would leave his exile in France and settle in Palma de Mallorca, a refuge and workspace, where his friend Josep Lluís Sert designed the studio he had always dreamed of.
The attachment to the landscape of Mont-roig first and Mallorca later will be decisive in his work. The connection with the land and the interest in everyday objects and the natural environment will be the backdrop of some of his technical and formal investigations. Miró shuns academicism, constantly seeking a global and pure work, not affiliated with any particular movement. Rooted in forms and public manifestations, it is through the plastic act that Joan Miró shows his rebellion and a great sensitivity to the political and social events surrounding him. This contrast of forces will lead him to create a unique and highly personal language that positions him as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
