The Spanish surrealist painter Joan Mir贸 was born in Barcelona on April 20, 1893 in a passage close to Pla莽a Reial. Catalan of international dimension, his work reflects his attraction for the subconscious, for the "childish spirit" and for his country. He leaves for Paris. It was during the 1930s that he manifested his desire to abandon, "kill, murder or rape", the conventional methods of painting, thereby promoting a form of contemporary expression. He does not want to comply with any requirements, either aesthetics or surrealism. He died in Palma de Mallorca on December 25, 1983.
