description: "Miró painted like a child set loose in the unconscious — primary colors, floating shapes, creatures that never existed — and called it an assassination of painting. The contempt was the point: he wanted to kill the bourgeois picture and let something wilder take its place."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Joan Miró i Ferrà was born in Barcelona on 20 April 1893, a Catalan who would carry that identity into every canvas. His work landed somewhere between Surrealism, Fauvism, and Expressionism, but the categories never quite held — he was after the subconscious, the childlike, the pieces of mind that don't sit still. From the 1930s on he spoke openly against conventional painting methods, seeing them as props for a bourgeois world he wanted no part of, and he framed his own practice as an "assassination of painting," an effort to tear down the visual grammar everyone else obeyed. International acclaim followed anyway. Barcelona opened the Fundació Joan Miró in 1975, and Palma, his adoptive home in Mallorca, established the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in 1981. He died on 25 December 1983, leaving behind work that still resists easy categorization.
