Miro a figure of Spanish art: complete artist from painting to sculptor.

Joan Miró I Ferrà (April 20, 1893 - December 25, 1983 ;) was a Spanish Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favor of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.

Miro's surrealist voodoo art and sculptor. led to his signature style of painting.

Joan Miró was originally part of the Generation of '27, a collective made up of Spanish poets, writers, painters, sculptors and film. It is also important to note that Miró's surrealist paintings evolved out of "repression" much like all Spanish surrealist and magic realist work, especially since the Catalan ethnicity to which he pertained was subject to special persecution by the Franco regime. Also, Joan Miró was well aware of Haitian Voodoo art and Cuban Santería religion through his travels before going into exile. This led to his signature style of painting.
