a picture is made of brushstrokes, just as a poem is made of words. - joan miró
miró's works are interpreted as belonging to surrealism, as an expression of a return to childhood and as sandboxes for the subconscious. The miró style consists of vivid colors combined with simplified forms, reminiscent of drawings of a small child. Initially, miró created in various fashionable styles, for example, fauvist and cubist. In 1920 he traveled to paris several times, and a year later he settled there permanently. He met pablo picasso, vasily kandinsky and many other outstanding artists. In 1924 he joined the surrealists of andré breton's circle, but - despite the fact that he worked under their influence - he remained on the outskirts of this trend, maintaining the position of an outsider.
influenced by surrealist poets and writers, he began to develop his own style: a map of weightless colored signs and poetic forms that evoke both the seemingly naive freshness of invention and the exuberant and baroque catalan spirit. The elements of the style adopted by him were organic forms and a flattened drawing with sharp lines. With the help of a symbol, a trace of a finger, a hand, water on paper, a seemingly delicate line on fabric - the master transformed the world around him with clear simplicity. He created a reality full of poetic and dreamlike transformations.
his lifestyle had a great need for cleanliness, order and education. The studio was tidy, and the works were arranged according to a system known only to the artist. He grew up in barcelona, spent part of his life in paris, and although in 1956 the artist decided to move to palma de mallorca and villa son abrines, his life continued to follow the barcelona-parisian rhythm. The choice of palma de mallorca was also not accidental, because his wife - pilar juncosa - was born on this mediterranean island.
often the starting point of mirò's paintings is the main color spot from which the world emerges with the strict organization of its irrational form. However spontaneous this creation may seem, only the first moment was created freely, the rest is meticulously controlled according to miró's requirements for balance in the composition. Freeing his paintings from illusions and anecdotes, miró has reached the limit of simplification. He is the author of the grattage painting technique, which consists in scraping the paint off the canvas. This piece has an attribution mark,
