[PAINTING] by Juan Miró

Hirondelle amour

Juan Miró (April 20, 1893 - December 25, 1983) was a Surrealist painter, sculptor and ceramicist born in Barcelona. He used to say that his inspiration comes from the simplest things, whereas his characters are being subjected to a process of simplification that makes them more human and alive.

"I feel the need of attaining the maximum of intensity with the minimum of means. It is this which has led me to give my painting a character of even greater bareness.”
