Жоа́н Миро́-и-Ферра́ — каталонский художник, скульптор и график. Направление его творчества — абстрактное искусство. Миро также близок к сюрреализму, работы художника похожи на бессвязные детские рисунки и содержат фигуры, отдалённо похожие на реальные предметы.

„I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.“
— Joan Miró
from: Joan Miro: Selected Writings and Interviews, M.Rowell, Thames and Hudson, 1987
„.. wherever you are, you find the sun, a blade of grass, the spirals of the dragonfly. Courage consists of staying at home, close to nature, which could not care less about our disasters. Each grain of dust contains the soul of something marvellous. [Miró admonished art-critic w:Georges Duthuit ]“

„The spectacle of the sky overwhelms me. I'm overwhelmed when I see, in an immense sky, the crescent of the moon, or the sun. There, in my pictures, tiny forms in huge empty spaces. Empty spaces, empty horizons, empty plains - everything which is bare has always greatly impressed me.“
— Joan Miró

„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..“
— Joan Miró

„.. something as sensational as [a] heavy weight prize fight.... a rain of swings, uppercuts, and straight right and lefts to the stomach and everywhere throughout the entire event – a round lasting about twenty minutes. [remark on a ballet Miro planned to, c. 1930]“
— Joan Miró
