About Joan Miró

Joan Miró (1893–1983) was a Catalan artist whose playful signs, stars and creatures sit between Surrealism and abstraction. Miró worked across painting, ceramics, sculpture and printmaking, and made many posters for his own exhibitions. Surrealist artists such as Magritte, Dalí and Miró used dream logic to make the familiar feel strange. The original dates from 1953.
