Joan Mir i Ferr (April 20, 1893 � December 25, 1983) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, and ceramist born in Mont-roig del Camp, Catalonia. His work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Mir expressed contempt for conventional painting methods and his desire to 'kill','murder', or 'rape' them in favor of more contemporary means of expression. Young Mir was drawn towards the arts community that was gathering in Montparnasse and in 1920 moved to Paris. There, under the influence of the poets and writers, he developed his unique style: organic forms and flattened picture planes drawn with a sharp line. Generally thought of as a Surrealist because of his interest in automatism and the use of sexual symbols (for example, ovoids with wavy lines emanating from them), Mir�s style was influenced in varying degrees by Surrealism and Dada, yet he rejected membership to any artistic movement in the interwar European years. Andr Breton, the founder of Surrealism, described him as 'the most Surrealist of us all.' Mir confessed to creating one of his most famous works, Harlequin's Carnival, under similar circumstances: 'How did I think up my drawings and my ideas for painting Well I'd come home to my Paris studio in Rue Blomet at night, I'd go to bed, and sometimes I hadn't any supper. I saw things, and I jotted them down in a notebook. I saw shapes on the ceiling...'
