**Joan Miró i Ferrà lived from 1893 – 1983.** **He was a Spanish artist who painted, made ceramics and sculpted.** **Miro was a surrealist, born in Barcelona, who liked to use symbolic forms.** **Like Dali, Miro used his art to express his political views, particularly during the Spanish Civil war when he worked with Picasso.** **Miro held many exhibitions of his work and became very popular.** **Now I will show you more of Miro's work.** ![image (1).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZm35KXWFvgzPVVryU1Zo9h3Bfb2Q1MtH1P3YEtK9KT9z/image%20(1).png) **'Ceramics - Restrike' by Joan Miro** *Invaluable* **Above is one of my favourites. It makes me think of dogs and birds dashing away for each other. Again, I love the colours and the movement is brilliant. This painting makes me laugh.** **Miró's art has been called Surreal. I just think it's a representation of how he saw the world. Maybe that's Surrealism, I don't know.** ![image (2).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPcm5qvW7Xpb9Yic1JsQAWXzwkWh8js48rEEXBqW6P8ss/image%20(2).png) **'The Garden' by Joan Miro** plasticaggm.blogspot.com **It looks like digital art to me, maybe done on Krita. Of course, it can't be because Miró lived too long ago.** **I like the flowers and the creatures. I think I can see two birds and a worm.** **There are two figures standing on two legs. Are they an adult and a child or a person with a dog?** **The sky is full of exciting things. What are they?** **I leave you with this photo of Joan Miro's studio in Son Abrines:** ![FT-Son-Abrines-studio-Photo-Jean-Marie-del-Moral-2-copy-copy.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZo7zeEVwbn6tYXRCY9zivSuUYypN9PtXDhMycDeFfQmZ/FT-Son-Abrines-studio-Photo-Jean-Marie-del-Moral-2-copy-copy.jpg) **Have you visited the Steemit Art Centre?
