Joan Miro
Barcelona surrealist painter
Joan Miró was a Spanish painter and sculptor associated with Surrealism, known for his playful, dreamlike imagery featuring bold colors, biomorphic shapes, and childlike symbols.
His work influenced Abstract Expressionism and remains instantly recognizable: floating eyes, stars, crescent moons, and amoeba-like forms against vivid backgrounds.
The painting looked like a Miró—all bright primary colors and whimsical shapes.
