Joan Mir\u00f3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Early on in his life, Joan Mir\u00f3 dreamt of being a painter and began to pursue his passion in Tarragona, Spain. Born on April 20,1893 in Barcelona, Mir\u00f3 drew influences from the likes of Paul Cezanne and the Fauvist movement, resulting in a figurative style of painting. He was also adept at lithography, and crafting sculptures or ceramics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1930, Mir\u00f3 was awarded a Gold Medal of Fine Arts in Spain, while having a plaza named in his honour in Madrid. He would later die from cardiovascular disease on December 25, 1983.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
