Spanish artist Joan Miró is viewed by the art world as one of the most important artists of the 20th century and a precursor of modern art.
Miró was a prolific artist who worked in painting, printmaking, sculpture, tapestry, and ceramics. His art, known for invoking a childlike sense of expression, can be found in distinguished museums around the world.
Les Tendresses de la lueur de la lune à l’aube croisée par un bel oiseau - Joan Miró - 1954
“Miró speaks a language that the world understands, but that no one can learn, for it has no direct reference to external appearances: it is a language spoken only by its inventor, that only the artist who originated it can speak meaningfully.”
