Joan Miró
Joan Miró was born in Barcelona, Spain, as the son of a goldsmith and jewelry maker. He studied art at the Academia Galí and at the Barcelona School of Fine Art. Miró had developed his own unique style of imagery derived from elements of Catalan folk art and the art of children. Eventually, Breton described him as, “the most Surrealist of us all.”
