0011. Portrait of E.C. Ricart

on Feb. 4, 2010

By Joan MirÃ³
Circa. 1917
Surrealism.

One of MirÃ³ earlier works, it can only loosely fit into the category of surrealism. One of the main reasons that MirÃ³'s art is difficult to categorize is because his style would change quite often. MirÃ³ despised most art throughout history because he felt that most art only served to celebrate the lives of the rich and those in power. Because of this, his style would constantly change throughout his life in in order to keep from appealing to the popular taste at the time.
