Miro · Overview

Joan Miro's main body of work is surrealist, but I'm rather fond of his minimal expressionist canvasses. These are sprinkled throughout his career, some as early as the late 20s, a couple in the 90s. Typically featuring playful, almost diagrammatic abstract constellation charts for an invented mythology. Dreamlike biomorphic shapes on a cream ground -- stars, dots, and simple creature-glyphs in primary colors.
