JOAN MIRO

Joan Miro was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and    ceramicist born in Barcelona in 1893. He later died in 1983.

Once exposed to different artists, his style changed to be focused much more on Surrealism. Some of his works seem childlike, and have a youthful theme to them, with the vibrant colors and shapes. Biomorphic shapes are shapes which seem to exhibit the appearance of a living thing, shown    through the shapes in his work.
