Summary/Abstract: Joan Miro is a widely known artist of XX century, who worked in painting, sculpture, and graphics. One of the key subject in his creative work appears to be an interconnection of a man and the Universe, an open dialogue of a human being and the Cosmos, as well as an urge of a contemporary man, who lost his link with nature and the world, and therefore misses a harmony and happiness, which he could achieve only by turning back to his original state of a unity with the Universe. Joan Miro’s profound attachment to his native land – Catalonia, may be considered as his main mindset’s base. The artistic heritage of Catalonia definitely became an infinite inspirational source of all his creative work. Artist’s fervent attachment to the native land was also reflected in Miro’s active participation in the cultural movement of “Nousentism”, which had a national renaissance as its main goal.
