joan miró

joan miró i ferrà -lrb- ; 20 april 1893 -- 25 december 1983 -rrb- was a catalan , spanish painter , sculptor , and ceramicist 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 de mallorca in 1981 .
earning international acclaim , his work has been interpreted as surrealism , a sandbox for the subconscious mind , a re-creation of the childlike , and a manifestation of catalan pride .
in numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards , miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society , and famously declared an `` assassination of painting '' in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting .
