This piece of art was painted on ceramic by Joan Miró. He was born in Spain in 1893 to a family of craftsmen. His father, Miguel, was a watchmaker and goldsmith, while his grandfathers were cabinetmakers and blacksmiths. Perhaps in keeping with his family's artistic trade, Miró exhibited a strong love of drawing at an early age; according to biographers, he was not particularly inclined toward academics. Rather, Miró pursued art-making and studied landscape and decorative art at the School of Industrial and Fine Arts (the Llotja) in Barcelona. Joan died in 1983.
"Homer"
Red Grooms was commissioned $2.5M by Miami-Dade's Art in Public Places to create, Homer, seven-story sculpture. It is a brightly colored sculpture, which lights up, sprays water and sends a marlin whirring whenever Miami hits a home run.
