Joan Miro was a Spanish painter, ceramist, and sculptor who's work was mostly based on Surrealism. The painting of his that I chose was a "Figure at Night Guided by the Phosphorescent Tracks of Snails" done in 1940. It is a surrealist abstract painting consists of overlapping figures, abstract shapes, and only 3-4 colors. It was part of his "Constellations" series from 1939-41. It has a dreamlike quality to it even though it is abstract. The sculpture of his is called "Double-sided monolith" which is made of stoneware and enamel. This sculpture was done in 1956 but has very similar qualities to this painting of his, as it also has a dreamlike quality to it even though it is abstract.
