Artist Biography: Catalan artist. One of the foremost exponents of abstract art and Surrealist fantasy. Influence of Paul Klee is apparent in "dream pictures" and "imaginary landscapes" of the late 1920s. Mature style sprang from the tension between fanciful, poetic impulse and a vision of the harshness of modern life. Worked extensively in lithography. Produced numerous murals, tapestries, and sculptures for public spaces.~~Reference: Mourlot~Dupin, Jaques. Miro Engraver. (New York: Rizzoli, 1989).~Hunter, Sam.
