Poster Mirò Carota - cm 40x50

Carota Mirò - Born in 1893 in Montroig near Barcelona, the Spanish painter settled in Paris after completing his studies. His early paintings had been strongly influenced by Van Gogh. After meeting Picasso, he followed Cubism for a short period. In 1925 he joined he surrealists. The confrontation with the work of Arp, Kandinsky and, above all, Klee led to a free spontaneous form of language with which he invented a very personal, hieroglyphic-like picture world. The signs invented by him resemble fantastic visions, which, if on one hand, radiate a happy naivety, on the other hand, remind of ancient human symbols with their archaic expressiveness. Mirò died in Palma di Maiorca in 1983 at the age of 90.
