This
is one of Miro's most full, rich, complex, and imaginative paintings.
A man is playing a guitar at a table in a green room. There is
an odd shaped dog, a cat, pictures on the wall, and a window
to the street behind him. The colors are bright and gay, the
shapes are wild and distorted, as if in motion. One can feel
an exuberance coming from the music the guitar. The musician
is playing so hard his head is spinning and the table appears
to be moving. This is one of Miro's greatest paintings because
it expresses in pictorial form something that cannot be described
in words. His shapes and forms take on a life of their own, barely
touching on plain reality, but describing reality with sound,
touch, and more. |
