Joan Miro [Galerie Maag Print Exhibition Poster] Image size 64x49cm Original lithograph print

A representative painter of the School of Paris from Barcelona. While participating in the Surrealist movement in Paris, he was heavily influenced by Surrealism, but instead of continuing with long, thin forms, he created his own unique object forms, forming a world of Miró's unique abstract paintings that were enjoyable like music. He expanded his activities to include painting, prints, ceramics, sculptures, and outdoor mural sculptures, achieving worldwide success.
