In the canvas—a landscape filled with personal symbols and evocations of life on his family’s farm in Montroig, Spain, such ...
Though often pigeonholed as a Surrealist, the Catalan modernist Joan Miró considered his art to be free of any “ism.” He experimented feverishly throughout his career with different media—painting, pastel, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, collage, muralism, and tapestry—and unconventional materials as a way of making work that ...
