"Portrait II" by Joan Miró
"Portrait II" stands as a testament to Joan Miró's mastery of abstract art, with its curious forms and subtle interplay of colors presenting a whimsical, enigmatic face.
About The Artwork
Created in 1938, "Portrait II" exemplifies Joan Miró's unique style of blending surrealism with abstract art. The painting's simplified shapes and organic forms against a muted background suggest a face, reflecting Miró's interest in the subconscious and dream imagery. This piece is emblematic of his work during the late 1930s, a period marked by tumultuous political unrest, which often led him to seek refuge in the realm of the imagination, using symbolism as a silent protest and personal escape.
About the Artist
Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting
A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city of Barcelona in 1975, and another, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró, was established in his adoptive city of Palma de Mallorca in 1981.
