Catalan artist Joan Miró (1893-1983) was a major figure in the trajectory of Twentieth Century European art. A close friend of Picasso, Miró developed a unique language of visual signs that changed the course of modern painting. Robert Lubar, Associate Professor at the Institute of Fine Arts and NYU Madrid Site Director, has produced a Mass Open On Line Course (MOOC) on Miró’s life and work. The course is offered in nine installments during October 2015. Students must register for the course, which is free, by October 7th, connecting through the following on-line platform: https://www.miriadax.net/web/joan-miro
The MOOC is a collaboration between the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia) and the Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona. Professor Lubar is the Director of the Cátedra Joan Miró at the Open University and is the Academic Director of the International Miró Research Group.
