Born in 1893 in Montroig near Barcelona, the Spanish painter settled in Paris after completing his studies. After his early paintings had been strongly influenced by van Gogh, as result of his meeting with Picasso he came under the influence of Cubism for a short period. In 1925 he joined the surrealists. The confrontation with the work of Arp, Kandinsky and, above
all, Klee led to a free spontaneous form language with which he invented a very personal, hieroglyphic-like picture world. The signs invented by him resemble fantastic visions, which, on the one hand, radiate a happy naivety and, on the other hand, remind one of ancient human symbols with their archaic expressiveness. Miró died in 1983 aged 90.
