In 1918, Miró introduced images which combined suggestions of Catalan folklore and Fauvist technique. In 1919, he visited Paris and became a friend of Picasso and Cubism. He combined this technique with a sophisticated Primitivism and produced some of the Miró "creatures" prevalent in his early works. In his mature work he stood apart from the several stylistic categories of Surrealism and yet he was the greatest of all Surrealist abstract artists and can be compared in stature only to Kandinsky in expressive abstraction. The Foundation Joan Miró was opened in 1975 overlooking Barcelona, Spain. It is designed both as a memorial museum housing the collection of Miró's works and as a center of artistic activity where you can get a glimpse of Miró's world. Dimensions: 22 x 28 inches unframed. Publisher: Sala Pelaires, Mallorca. Pictures are part of the description.
