(Barcelona, Spain, 1893 – Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 1983)
He studied at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de la Lonja, Escuela de Arte Francesa Galí, Círculo Artístico de Sant Lluc. Although essentially a painter, throughout his life he has produced ceramics and sculptures that place him at the forefront of international avant-gardism in both techniques. Around 1930, he produced sculpture-objects that are among the most characteristic of surrealism. In ceramics he produced pieces of great inventive value, many of which are true sculptures, such as the 1956 piece with signographs. He has also produced bronze sculptures that do not abandon Miró’s world of forms, but rather monumentalise it. He has exhibited all over the world and his work is to be found in the most important museums.
«Sculpture is for Miró an intrinsic adventure and not the painter’s solace. With this means of expression and his way of approaching it, he achieves an immediate contact with reality, which in painting he only reaches through the constructions of an elaborate language». (Jacques Dupin).
