Prov: Towards the universe. It is as if Miró was a nocturnal bird able to escape from the earth, leaving the sky, traveling across the sky, the stars, to the constellations, to capture them all with one hand, and draw back to earth them on a sheet of paper. Joan Punyet, grandson of the artist, said in an interview at TV3: The Constellations are a sublime break. [1] The painter gave to his wife and she later donated to the Foundation.[1]. While in Paris, friends allowed him to use various studios temporarily. ; exh. Miro had a penchant for the subversive side of Surrealism. He spent most of his life in the Catalonia part of Spain, in Barcelona and Mallorca and considered himself a Catalan rather than a Spaniard. Joan Miró rejected the constraints of traditional painting, creating works “conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness,” as he once said. It almost inevitably includes flat biomorphic shapes, moving in a seemingly gravity-less environment. We are periodically asked to research or authenticate Miro works and we are well equipped to do so, being that we are fluent in all the archives and reference material languages, including Catalan. Exh: Its colors were not found in a search of all the available literature and online research services for other drawings, paintings, lithographs, or any other authenticated work by Miro.

At the beginning of the play, the wife Thérèse announces that she is tired of being a woman and doesn't want to have babies; she wants to be a soldier, a doctor, a minister in the government, a philosopher, a chemist and so on. American critic Clement Greenberg was among those who considered this period of Miró’s work notable primarily for its formal innovations (Clement Greenberg, Joan Miró, New York 1948, p.26), and many have pointed to the affinities between his flat fields of colour and later abstract expressionist painting. The most prominent of these is an amorphous white shape floating on the left, painted in patchy brushstrokes that allow glimpses of the blue beneath. Miro was one of the key Surrealists of the twentieth century. Luckily the series are dated, allowing the sequence in chronological order.

He says 'You can't go on being as flat as a bug' (... il ne faut plus | Que tu sois plate comme une punaise), and hands her a bunch of balloons and a basket of balls. With André Masson, Miró was the first to create imagery using automatic techniques in which forms seemed to emerge directly from the unconscious. Painting is one of a large series of works made by Miró between 1924 and 1927 which are often referred to as ‘automatic paintings’ (Simon Wilson, Surrealist Painting, London 1975, p.5), ‘dream paintings’ (Dupin 1962, p.157) or ‘peinture-poesie’ (poetry-painting) (Lanchner 1993, p.15).
