Joan Miro is the name of a renowned Catalan painter and sculptor (1893–1983). Proper pronunciation treats it as a two-part proper noun: the given name Joan (/dʒoʊˈæn/ in Anglophone usage) and the surname Miro (/miˈroʊ/ or /ˈmiːroʊ/ depending on dialect). Together, the phrase should flow with slight stress on the second element of the surname, yielding a natural, French- and Catalan-informed intonation in most English contexts.
