What disease did Joan Miro die of?

During the late 50’s, Joan focused on public art projects like murals and plop art. The most famous is the Wall of the Moon and Wall of the Sun, made from 1957-1958, and are located at the UNESCO building in Paris. The murals are ceramic, which became his craze at this time in his art.

In 1972, he created The Joan Miró foundation, Center for Study of Contemporary Art. His friend designed the buildings, and he donated all his art to this place, which was about 240 paintings, 175 sculptures, nine textiles, four ceramics, and 8,000 drawings. Following the opening of his museum, he went to Wichita State University in Kansas and did the glass mosaic Personnage Oiseaux from 1972-1978.

Four years before his death, Joan was named Doctor Honoris Causa by the University of Barcelona. During the last couple years of his life, he suffered from heart disease, and he died on December 25, 1983 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. He was 90.

Throughout his life, Miró’s goal for his art was to be able to make the painting into a poem, for a picture speaks a thousand words, and a Miró could speak two thousand.
