Joan
Miro was one of Spain's foremost artists. He
studied at Barcelona's Gali Art
Academy while keeping abreast of the Parisian art
movements. His
early work was influenced by fauvism and cubism. In the 1920s the
inspiration of surrealism began to be seen in his
paintings. The Spanish Civil War, during which he
was exiled to France, was the catalyst for the intense work he
exhibited at the 1937 World's Fair in Paris. He
returned to Spain in 1940 when France was invaded.
