Features: Between Joan #8226; Miró's paintings and the architecture of the Barcelona Joan Miró Foundation designed by Josep #8226;Lluís #8226; Sert, we can find significant consistency, which indicates — apart from the international architectural movement related to Sert and the "patternism" painting associated with the name of Miró — that there is undoubtedly something that unites the two artists. Their close friendship, as well as their shared beliefs and desires, undoubtedly binds them together. As a result, some of their works are built upon a series of shared interests. The pursuit of simplicity and a close attention to Mediterranean folk traditions are hallmarks of their creations, just as is their deep belief in humanism. It is this humanism, influenced somewhat by the defining disaster of the 20th century, that brings them even closer together.
