Joan Miro: Character

Character
Pastel on Velour Paper
1934, 106.3cm x 70.5cm
Musee National d'Art Moderne, Pompidou Center, Paris

     This interesting character may be an interesting self portrait of the artist. It is biomorphic and surreal in shape, all of his appendages rounded, balancing a Spanish hat on his head it seems. His phallus and head are interchangeable it seems, both are colorful and biomorphic in shape. The phallus has more features, with an eye and mouth, while the head is striped. The character is playfully doing a balancing act with the hat, and it seems that Miro is balancing humor and play with reflection on his body and life as an artist.
