Joan Miró i Ferrà was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. In 1975, the Fundació Joan Miró, a museum dedicated to his work, was established in his native city of Barcelona. The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, was established in his adoptive city of Palma de Mallorca in 1981.

Joan Miró i Ferrà's work has been classified under Surrealism with his own unique interpretation of the style, earning him international recognition. His work often veered into Fauvism and Expressionism. Miró i Ferrà was most acclaimed for his interest in the subconscious mind, reflected in his pseudo-naive gestures.
