Amoureux de Paris, il vivra dans plusieurs quartiers de la capitale : dans un atelier de la rue Blomet, puis de Montmartre. Une fois marié, il emménagera rue François Mouthon en 1929.

En 1956, Joan Miro commence les peintures murales pour le siège de l'Unesco à Paris (VIIè) et reçoit, trois plus tard, le Grand Prix de la fondation Guggenheim pour cette oeuvre.

Ami de grands poètes surréalistes français, Joan Miro va illustrer quelques uns de leurs poèmes comme 'L'Arbre des voyageurs' de Tzara ou 'A toute épreuve' de Paul Eluard.

En 1972 est décidée la création de la fondation Joan Miro à Barcelone. Celle-ci fut inaugurée officiellement quatre ans plus tard.

Nombre de ces oeuvres furent réalisées pour des lieux publics comme une céramique murale pour l'aéroport de Barcelone ou encore deux sculptures pour un parc de cette ville, le tout créé avec son ami Artigas.

Ce qui est important, ce n'est pas de finir une oeuvre, mais d'entrevoir qu'elle permettre un jour de commencer quelque chose.

Ce qui compte, ce n'est pas une oeuvre, c'est la trajectoire de l'esprit durant la totalité de la vie.

Once he arrived, Cezanne met and befriended Pissarro, one of the founding artists of Impressionism.... ...

It was only after Monet’s work was praised by Boudin, a prominent artist at the time, that he heavily considered painting as a career. It wasn’t long after than Monet moved to Paris, the heart of the artistic world. Claude Monet was, perhaps, the most driven and influential of all of the Impressionists. When he was still littl...

	Leonardo Da Vinci No one was more of a ‘Renaissance man’ than Leonardo Da Vinci. There was virtually nothing that Da Vinci wasn’t versed in. He was a painter as well as a sculptor. He created plans for various inventions centuries before their times, such as helicopters and submarines. He was interested in the human body and made notes on anatomy. He was skilled with languages, literature, and philosophy. Da Vinci was a giant, even in his own time. Today, there is almost no artist held to such esteem as Da Vinci. ...

	Michelangelo Michelangelo was born as Michelangelo Buonarroti, though he is more commonly known only by his first name. The only other artist that comes close to the fame and stature as Michelangelo is his contemporary Leonardo Da Vinci. Both contend for the right to be the ultimate Renaissance artists, if not the top artist in history. Michelangelo was apprenticed at only thirteen to the famous Renaissance artist Ghirlandaio. By fourteen he was being paid and treated like a full fledged artist, though his t... ...
