Miro
was under the influence of the Surrealists in Paris by the time
he painted this celebrated painting. By the end of the 1920s Miro
had developed a vocabulary of pictorial signs and marks. The human
form with a big foot, a line for the horizon, moon and star shapes
in the sky, simplified geometric waves, and playful fantastical
forms.Miro paints contrasting textures in this painting, from the
blue green marbled sky to the flat brilliant yellow. The flat horizon
is broken by vertical forms and lines, making the composition dynamic. |
