Joan Miró (1893-1983) was a Spanish artist known for his innovative and experimental work. He is considered one of the greatest artists of the modernist art movement of the 20th century.

Miró was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1893 and developed an interest in fine art from an early age. He studied art at the Schola de la Llotja Art School in Barcelona and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris, where he met renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brancusi.

Miró's work is often characterized by the use of bright colors and abstract forms, as well as an emphasis on freedom and spontaneity in making art. He is known for creating fantastical images and bold universes, using techniques such as collage, watercolor and sculpture.

Some of Miró's notable works include "The Tilled Field" (1923-24), "The Harlequin's Carnival" (1925), and "The Morning Star" (1940). He is also known as the pioneer of the Spanish art movement called "Catalan Surrealism".

Miró continued to create until the end of his life, and he died in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in 1983 at the age of 90. His artistic heritage continues to be a source of inspiration for many artists and art enthusiasts around the world today.
