Joan Miró i Ferrà was born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1893.

Despite his evident predisposition for art since his young age, he is forced to study economics. Then, he
starts a career in the accounting field. Thaks to a nervous breakdown, due to much stress at
workplace, he changes his mind: he stops his job to dedicate himself entirely to art.

In 1912 he begins the Academy of Art in Barcelona, which is directed by Galì. He gets in touch with
fauvisme, an artistic movement. Just after six years he has his first personal exposition.
In 1920 he moves to Paris, one of the most lively cities for art and culture in that period. Here he meets
Pablo Picasso and the artistic circle of Tristan Tzara.

During this years he approaches the surrealism, whose style will influence him for all his life and
career.

During the Spanish Civil War (1936 – 1939) the artist is very socially engaged for his country: he
sustains the Republican cause and raises funds for his Nation and for the Spanish people. He is strictly convinced about the social role of Art and therefore paints with his poems on the canvases.
He will come back to his land only in 1940, settling down definitely between Maiorca and Montroig.

In 1954 he wins the prize for graphics at Venice Biennale and in 1958 The International Prize Guggenheim.

Above others there are also la Medala d'Or de la Generalitat de Catalunya in 1978, and the degree honoris causa
at Barcelona University.

During his artistic career Miró developed a personal and unforgettable style, with shapes between
surrealism and abstactism, always experimenting techniques such as collage, litography, etching,
sculptures and, in the last periods, ceramics.

The artst died the 25th December 1983, at the age of 90, in Palma de Mallorca.

TAX

if you LIVE IN EU

If you live in Europe (CEE) the price we show you already includes taxes. The works are taxed either with VAT exposed (22%) or VAT with the margin, if you are a private person you do not change anything, if you are a company: in In the first case, you will recover the VAT, in the second, no. When you put the works in the cart you will be separated from the vat exposed.

If you DON'T LIVE IN EU and you want an EXTRA EU shipping

Many works (not all) have an exposed VAT of 22% included in the price, this vat will be spun off! Obviously you will pay the VAT to your destination country, if due. For example if you live in Switzerland you save 22% but you will have to pay 7.7% to your customs, if you live in Hong Kong you will save 22% and you will not have to pay anything to your customs (lucky you).
