In 1919 Miró decided to go to Paris to meet Pablo Picasso, Max Jacob, Tristan Tzara and Pierre Reverdy.

In 1928 he travelled to the Netherlands and created several works inspired by the Flemish Masters, including “Dutch Interior II” today exhibited at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.

Returning to Spain, Joan Miró remained there until 1936 because of the Spanish War and returned to his country only in 1941.

Simultaneously, a retrospective exhibition of his art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York demonstrated his international consecration.

Joan Miró began to do several works in ceramics and was also interested in prints.

From 1954 to 1958, most of his artistic production was prints and ceramics.

In the 1960s, Joan Miró devoted himself mainly to sculpture.
