About Joan Miró

Joan Miró (1893–1983) was a seminal Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist whose distinctive visual language placed him at the forefront of Surrealism, though he later moved toward more abstract, biomorphic forms. His work is characterized by its playful, childlike quality, vibrant colors, and the use of symbolic, dream-like imagery, securing his place as one of the 20th century's most inventive modern artists. MIT's Pantheon project ranks his historical importance at #707 out of approximately 15,000 figures, reflecting his profound and lasting influence on global art.

In terms of contemporary internet attention, Miró experiences an Attention Gap of approximately 1x, suggesting his 287K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025 are relatively aligned with his historical rank. However, a comparison with other modern figures shows a contrast: he receives significantly less attention than Oskar Schindler (#963 importance, 1.5M views) and Naruhito (#978 importance, 1.4M views). While his attention is stable, it is currently lagging behind contemporaries with lesser historical influence.

There is a slight positive trend in immediate interest, as evidenced by a +6% momentum gain between Q1 and Q3 of 2025, despite a year-over-year decrease of -22.1% in total views.
