Quotes by Joan Miró
I want to make art that is timeless.
My work is a reflection of my inner world.
I am a seeker.
The artist must be a shaman.
I want to make art that is transformative.
My work is a journey into the unknown.
I am a rebel with a cause.
The artist must be a revolutionary.
I want to make art that is alive and breathing.
My work is a song, a poem, a dance.
The works must be conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness.
I feel the need to destroy the drawing I have done again and again.
Never draw what you can see; draw what you can't see.
The bird is an obvious symbol of freedom.
I try to apply colors like words, rhythmically.
In a picture, the framing should never be apparent.
I want to assassinate painting.
The content is the light, the color, the form.
I am essentially a poet.
My whole life has been a continuous search for forms.
