Joan Miro was a spanish painter, sculptor and born in Barcelona.
This monumental sculpture, standing 66 feet tall, was part of Barcelona's public art initiative and is considered Miró's last great work called, Woman and Bird. Assisted by a team of craftsmen, Woman and Bird was built of concrete and colorful, broken ceramic tile; its irregular contours and tile mosaic were in part an homage to the great architect Antonio Gaudi, whom Miró admired.
