Born April 20, 1893, in Barcelona, Spain, Joan Mir Ferra was exposed to art at an early age through his watchmaker father. At the age of 14, he went to business school in Barcelona while also attending La Lonjas Escuela Superior de Artes Industriales y Bellas Artes. Choosing business over art, he took a position as a clerk, but suffered a nervous breakdown. Abandoning business, he resumed his art studies and attended Francesc Galas Escola d'Art in Barcelona from 1912 to 1915. Receiving early encouragement from the dealer Jos Dalmau, Miro's first show occurred at his gallery in 1918 where his work was ridiculed and defaced. His works during this time reflected the influence of Fauvism and folkloric Catalan art as is seen in Chapel of Sant Joan d' Horta (1917), but he was also drawn to Cubism and Surrealism.
