(4329) Miro Main-belt Asteroid

Discovered on 22 September 1982 by L. G. Taff at Socorro.

Joan Miró (1893–1983) was a famous Spanish Catalan painter, sculptor and ceramicist. Very close to the Surrealism movement, Miró used celestial bodies as subjects in his works, as in the series Constellations (1940–41). The Joan Miró Foundation museum was dedicated to his work in his native Barcelona in 1975.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #13, 12), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
