Joaquin Mir.
(Barcelona, January 6, 1873, Barcelona, 27 April 1940). Spanish Catalan painter. Student Lluis Graner (1863-1929), Mir was a member of la Colla del Safra (a group of young artists), who wrote the countryside outside of Barcelona. "Cathedral of the Poor" (1898) among his most important works of this period - this is a realistic portrait of the poor. In 1899, Mir has agreed with Santiago Rusisol in Mallorca on joint work with the Belgian simvol.zhivopistsem William Deguv de Nünke. However, preferring to live alone, left the shop and went to De Pareis, canyon north of the island, where he wrote a number of unusual works, such as large-scale "Enchanted Cove" in which the forms have merged in the short-lived paint colors. His personal exhibition in 1901 in Barcelona Sala Parys faced with public misunderstanding, but critics say about him, how about a new great Catalan painter of landscape. Accidents and psychiatric illness ended his period of Mallorcan (1904), and he was sent to a psychiatric institution Reus (1905-6). During his convalescence, he spent some of Tarragona, the Mir-and was the most creative period, representing the light and color of the landscape in a bold manifestation. He won a first-class medal in the fifth Exposiciu Internacional in Barcelona (1907) and showed 90 works on an individual exhibition in Faianz Catalia (gallery in Barcelona) in 1909. Also participated in several exhibitions in Madrid, Paris, Pittsburgh, Washington, Philadelphia and won a medal of honor Nacional de Arta Bellalo Exposición Madrid in 1930. In later years he continued to show their traditional work, such as Oslo, Venice, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires and London, but his paintings became more common. This later work does not diminish his achievements since the beginning of the century to the 1920th, not only as a very creative force in the Catalan art, but also as one of the most undervalued of the European schools.
