Joan Miró (Spanish, 1893-1983)

Widely considered one of the leading Surrealists, though never officially part of the group, Joan Miró pioneered a wandering linear style of Automatism—a method of “random” drawing that attempted to express the inner workings of the human psyche. Miró used color and form in a symbolic rather than literal manner, his intricate compositions combining abstract elements with recurring motifs like birds, eyes, and the moon. A proponent of experimentation, Miró’s wide body of work included ceramics, various prints, drawing, and sculpture.
