Joan Miró: Painting like a poem, a star The first time you look at a Miró painting, you might be a bit confused.Squiggly black lines, bright pops of color, strange little shapes floating around the canvas — it almost looks like a child’s doodle.But for some reason, you can't look away.Why?Because even though the lines are simple, there's a whole world tucked inside.Look closer — there's a star, a bird, a woman.These three symbols show.. 2025. 5. 18.

Vasily Kandinsky | The law professor who became the world’s first abstract artist Before he ever picked up a brush, Kandinsky was a respected professor of law and economics in Moscow.
