A bit of inspiration for your Sunday... One of my all time favorite Artists from Catalonia, España. When I visited Barcelona earlier this year I was captured by the sculptures and art pieces around the city created by Miró. Although, when I visited the Miró gallery he had caught me: hook, line, and sinker. A true prolific artist.
Miró's surrealist style emerged from the tension between his imaginary, poetic and sometimes romantic notions and his vision of the brutality of modern life. "The more ignoble I find life, the more strongly I react by contradiction, in humor and in an outburst of liberty and expansion". - Miró
In 1919, he goes to Paris for the first time and joins, after experiencing Cubism and Fauvism, Surrealism. The unconscious and the world of dreams are now the fertile soil in which Miro draws his paintings.
From 1925 to 1928, Miró painted “dream pictures” and “imaginary landscapes” in which the linear configurations and patches of color look almost as though they were set down in an arbitrary fashion.
"I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music". - Miró
Miró signed the manifesto of the Surrealist movement in 1924, and the members of the group respected him for the way he portrayed the realm of unconscious experience. The poet André Breton, the chief spokesman of Surrealism, stated that Miró was “the most Surrealist of us all.”
