Original artwork description:

Miró invented a new kind of pictorial space in which carefully rendered objects issuing strictly from the artist's imagination are juxtaposed with basic, recognizable forms.

In L'Air we see a deep, brilliant blue of the sky, his iconic red sun as well as a black star and all sorts of creatures and symbols that seem to float above a volcanic landscape. The burnt ground show the influence of the Spanish Civil War on Miro and his work.

Miró's radical, inventive style was a critical contributor in the early-20th-century avant-garde journey toward increasing and then complete abstraction.

Materials used:

Acrylic on masonite
