Joan Miró – Untitled (1974-1975)

Louisiana poster with work by the Spanish surrealist painter and sculptor, Joan Miro (1883-1983), which Louisiana exhibited in 1974/75. Miro was one of the great individualists of modern visual art, influenced - and still influences - European painting and was never locked into -isms, but moved between media with preserved intensity in his expression.

Miro's starting point was surrealism, as he encountered it in Paris in the 1920s. Even in this phase, the Spanish master avoided getting stuck, but quickly found his own idiom, which ran like a common thread throughout his work.

Miro was not only a form-maker in Europe, but also sparked American expressionism after his first visit to the United States in the 1930s. American artists later reciprocated with the influence that Rauchenberg and Jasper Johns, for example, had on Miro during his many visits in the 1960s.

Joan Miro also became an inspiration here. For a number of Danish artists, such as Asger Jorn and Richard Mortensen, Miro's work became the path to a freer, non-figurative form, and Miro's influence can be directly seen in the paintings of many Danish artists.
