Although Miró has been associated with early Surrealism and has had an influence on Abstract Expressionists and Color Field painters, he remains one of modern art's greatest mavericks with a visual vocabulary unmistakably his own. Born in Barcelona, Spain in 1893, Joan Miro was associated with the Surrealist movement in the 1920s, but he always maintained his independence from any group or style. His paintings, sculptures, and works on paper are characterized by bright colors, biomorphic forms, and line work that seems to dance across the canvas. Today, Miro's work can be found in major museums and collections all over the world, cementing his legacy as one of the most important artists of the 20th century.
