Contemporary Urban Miro Barcelona XXXV 20211110 v2
In 1944, Miró completed a group of fifty black-and-white lithographs known as the Barcelona Series. Named for his hometown, where he found refuge after escaping from occupied Paris, the series is populated by faceless shadows, sharp-fanged hybrids, and wide-eyed forms with raised arms. Although known for its playful biomorphic figures, Miró's work had taken on an increasingly political tone following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, as his support for the Republican cause and his experience of anxiety and anguish in Franco-ruled Spain became more apparent. -moma
Joan Miró i Ferrà, 20 April 1893 - 25 December 1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramicist born in Barcelona. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city of Barcelona in 1975, and another, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, was established in his adoptive city of Palma de Mallorca in 1981. Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism but with a personal style, sometimes also veering into Fauvism and Expressionism. He was notable for his interest in the unconscious or the subconscious mind, reflected in his re-creation of the childlike. His difficult to classify works also had a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting. -wikipedia
