Heading to Spain anytime soon? I just happened to read on artdaily.org that there's an incredible new Joan Miro exhibit opening at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza. Apparently, the show will feature about 70 works (mainly paintings -- but some sculpture, drawings and collages as well) and will span his entire career, from 1918 to 1983. The focus is Miro's earth-themed work, of which there is, obviously, quite a lot! You should check out the article if you're lucky enough to be in the area at the time!
If, on the other hand, you're like me and a roundtrip ticket to Spain just isn't in your summer budget this year, you can still enjoy Miro quite close to home. In fact, why not in your home? Here's a bright, bold piece from our ArtSelect Miro collection:

The bright, bold colors and stylized interpretations of Miro tend to work really well with Contemporary style decor. If you tend to favor clean lines, primary colors and an overall modern look, Miro's artwork would be a great choice for your home.
Pretty incredible artist, wouldn't you say? ¡Viva Mirot!
