Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramist born in Barcelona. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city of Barcelona in 1975, and another, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, was established in his adoptive city of Palma in 1981. He was notable for his interest in the unconscious or the subconscious mind, reflected in his re-creation of the childlike.
