Joan Miro paintings date back to 1901, when Joan was only 8 years old. Joan Miro i Ferra was a Catalan Spanish painter, sculptor and ceramicist.
The pure and brilliant colors of Fauvism, the shapes from Cubism and the influences from folkloric Catalan art and Roman church frescos were the different trends reflected in the early Joan Miro paintings.
In 1921, during a trip to Paris, Surrealism became a part of Joan Miro paintings. Little by little, Joan Miro paintings took interest in the object, in the form of collages. Engraving, lithography, water colors, pastels and paintings over copper were the other artistic forms that Joan Miro paintings started experimenting on. The Wall of the Moon and the Wall of the Sun were two ceramic murals that highlighted the Joan Miro paintings in this period. Both murals can be found in the Parisian UNESCO building.
By the end of the 60s, Joan Miro paintings concentrated on monumental and public works. Among their features were body language and freshness, a special attention to material and a stamp of informalism. Their concentration was on the symbol emerging as the piece of work, instead of representing themes. Embodiments of Joan's very eccentric style were how Joan Miro paintings were considered. This style was Joan's unique approach to his artwork.
An influence to important 19th and 20th century painters, Goya paintings were reflections of contemporary upheavals. It was for his multifarious paintings, drawings and engravings, that Francisco De Goya y Lucientes, a consummate Spanish artist was best known for.
Known for their scenes of violence, a number of Goya paintings drew inspiration from the French invasion of Spain. Goya's series of etching referred to Disasters of War recorded the horrors of the Napoleonic invasion of Spain.
Considered masterpieces among Goya paintings are the Naked Maja and the Clothed Maja. Amidst Goya paintings can also be found charming portraits such as that of Senora Sabasa Garcia.
Goya paintings featured a bold technique. They consisted of haunting etching satires. They reflected the belief that the vision of an artist is far more important than tradition. These qualities contributed to Francisco being touted to be the first of the moderns. Other than this, Goya paintings are considered to mark the beginning of 19th century realism on the basis of their uncompromising portrayal of the times.
Done in decorative rococo tradition, fresco paintings for the local cathedral were among the Goya paintings that established Francisco's artistic reputation. A period when Francisco painted cartoons for the Madrid royal tapestry factory was considered the most important period in the artistic development of Goya paintings. This period was 1775-1792. The first genre Goya paintings were also done in this period. These paintings are reflections of scenes from everyday life.
