Throughout his long and fruitful creative career, he has always been passionate about interpreting everyday objects and exploring their inherent poetic qualities. His lifelong ambition was to connect art and life, and with his unique insight, he found poetic qualities in the most humble objects of daily life. The stars, moon, and sun painted by Miro are abstract symbols that are considered classics of abstract painting and his most famous painting style. However, in fact, Miro was deeply influenced by Cubism, Surrealism, and even Dadaism. The wind is changeable. He was determined to combine poetry and painting into one, and to revolutionize the traditional art medium of painting. He even once said: "I want to assassinate painting!" Miró had a close relationship with the Surrealist School. These Surrealists were open-minded and good at using different media to create. They had been trying to combine poetry and painting. Miró once took apart a poem and turned it into the basis of his painting. title, and tried to express his poetic nature in his paintings. Although Miro's paintings are considered abstract paintings, many times what he painted were symbols, and from the symbols, it can be seen that they are stars and the moon. Or a puppy/animal. Compared with completely abstract paintings, they show that Miró was deeply influenced by Surrealism. "He experienced two world wars and a Spanish Civil War. Those eras again witnessed the rule of the privileged class. He took refuge in the countryside. Living on the beach and looking up at the stars inspired him to paint the Constellations series (1940-1941). Later he began to paint with stars, moon and sun, and the Constellations series became his signature language." Speaking of his inspiration Regarding artistic influence, Director Luo said that Miró arrived in Paris when he was about thirty years old. At that time, Paris was the most avant-garde art center in the world, and various schools of painting contended. In addition to Surrealism, which he was more influenced by, he was also influenced by Dadaism and Cubism. "According to himself, he will learn from each school of painting, but he does not admit that he belongs to any one school of painting." assassination painting Miró once said during his lifetime that he "pays more and more attention to the materials used in his works. In order to let the audience feel the impact before they react, I think a rich and powerful material is necessary. In this way, the poetry comes through The medium of shaping is expressed." The materials he originally used were subversive. He would use wood, polymer fiber boards, brass Bronze, sandpaper, asphalt, etc. to create creations, scratching, drilling, gluing, and collaging them. Each has its own style. Perhaps for those who have a basic understanding of Miro, watching this exhibition, you will be surprised to find out that he was so deeply influenced by Dadaism. For example, the painting he painted in 1933 is displayed at the entrance. Oil painting (this work is simply called "Painting"), the origin of this painting is that he likes to collect magazines, and then cut out different "objects" in the magazines and collage them into works. The exhibition displays both his original collages and the oil paintings that he later evolved into. As we all know, collage and Ready Made are both common techniques of Dadaism, and Miró just picked them up as his practice. Why Miro is great Why is Miró so great that he can rival Picasso and Dali? How is he different from the other two? "Some people call Miro a surrealist painter, and generally say that he created abstract art, because it is difficult for everyone to define him with one doctrine. He is very compatible. This is why he is different from Picasso and Dali. Very different. When mentioning Picasso, he thinks of Cubism, and Dalido thinks of Surrealism. In addition, Miró also emphasized returning to nature. Whether he was in bustling Paris or there, he would spend two months every year, Returning to the countryside of Catalonia, I gained strength from nature." She said, "Miro took different media very seriously and collaborated with artists of different generations. He loved folk art and also collaborated with craft masters to create creations. The scope is very broad, and the creative period spans sixty years, which is quite rare." Title of work: Femme, serpent, étoiles women, snakes, stars Size of works for sale: 60 x 73.5 cm Year of work: 1942 https://canvypro.blob.core.windows.net/thumbs/7acf1efbe2ad434d9b5efd91ea31b488.jpg On September 12, 1941, Joan Miró completed his last gouache painting, the twenty-third in a series he officially titled "Constellations", at his home in Monteroig, Catalonia. He created the work "Women, Snakes, Stars" the following year, while he was undertaking a new series of exploratory and experimental work, carried out between Mallorca and Barcelona. During the dark times two years ago, Miró and his family embarked on a truly difficult journey to escape the darkness and despair that gripped Europe, hoping to escape their anxiety and hardship. Joan Miró moved in November 1941 to the Majorque in Palma, a peaceful place where his wife Pilar's parents lived: "I thought it would be a good idea for me to stay here for the time being. I work almost all the time, Having not seen anyone, I was able to escape the terrible tragedy of the world." This quote comes from C. Lanchner's book "Miró, cat. exp., The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1993, p. 336" . A few weeks after his arrival, he began a new series of works on paper. The artist rarely used oils during this time, as he believed paper was more suitable for his nomadic and "secret" lifestyle, and canvases were difficult and expensive to obtain at the time. Although Constellations brought a steady stream of symbols to Miró and achieved great success in New York in 1945, the artist also explored the same imagery in his works on paper, including this one. Jacques Dupin described this burst of creativity: "Full of symbols, full of erotic imagery and scenes of joyous figures playing in the moonlight, "Women, Snakes, Stars" is the product of the peak of this creative surge, which Miró created in 1942 Presented after returning to Barcelona at the end of the year. The Catalan artist also described the creative process of his works: "In the various paintings I created after returning to Barcelona from Parma, I have always followed three steps. ——The first is suggestion, usually material; the second is the conscious organization of these forms; the third is enriching the composition. For me, form takes shape as I work. In other words, I don't start with the intention of painting something, I start painting, and then as I paint, the image starts to appear. ...Even a few unthinking brush movements may hint at the birth of a work. However, the second step is carefully calculated. The first steps are free and unconscious; but then the image is completely controlled, true to the disciplined desire I have always felt in art. Catalonia has a different character than Malaga or the rest of Spain. It's very pragmatic. We Catalans believe that in order to jump high, you must keep your feet on the ground. I occasionally descend to earth so that I can jump higher. This passage describes Miró's creative process. He expressed that even just a few random strokes and wiping the brush could trigger the birth of a work. The first stage is free and unconscious, while the second stage is carefully planned. He emphasizes that although there was free play at first, the images were then tightly controlled, true to his pursuit of artistic discipline. He also compared the differences in personality between Catalonia and the rest of Spain, emphasizing the practical and pragmatic attitude of Catalans. He believes this mentality allowed him to jump higher and further artistically when he returned to reality. Miró completed the twenty-third and final painting in his series of iconic watercolors on paper, Constellations, on September 12, 1941, at his home in Monteroig, Catalonia. Over the next year, he created the work "Women, Snakes, Stars" and simultaneously entered a new phase of exploratory and experimental works, carried out in Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. He hopes to leave behind him the anxieties and worries of the past two years, in which he and his family have experienced a veritable odyssey to the safe haven of home, while all of Europe has been plunged into darkness and despair. Miró moved in November 1941 to Palma de Mallorca, the asylum where his wife Pilar's parents had lived, and a few weeks later he began a new group of works on paper. On February 15, 1942, Miró wrote to his friend EC Ricart: "I think it will be very convenient for me to stay here for a while. I work almost all the time. I hardly see anyone, In this way I can avoid the terrible tragedy of the whole world.” (Excerpted from C. Lanchner, Miro, Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1993, p. 336). Until 1944, he did not use oil and canvas regularly. Miró found that working on paper suited his nomadic and "secret" lifestyle best, and canvases were difficult to obtain and expensive. Furthermore, the Constellations series gave Miró a rich visual identity and gave him a variety of techniques that he needed to think through and continue, rather than mechanically repeating the look of what would soon become a famous series. The series was first exhibited in New York a few months before the end of the war in Europe (1945). Jacques Dupin described this renewed burst of creative energy: "In 1942, Constellations was followed by a large number of watercolors, gouache and drawings, characterized by creative freedom and outstanding ease of expression. In the evolution of art, this The renewed contact with Spain after a five-year absence was undoubtedly crucial in the creations that would ultimately form his unique style." These explorations are free from preconceived notions and are dynamic creations in which the artist perfects A rich variety of forms, symbols and formulas, using all materials and tools compatible with paper. The aim of all these explorations is to determine the relationship between painting and material, and between line and space (from Miro, Paris, 2004, pp. 257-260). During this new creative peak, Miró created the painting "Women, Snakes, Stars" after returning to Barcelona at the end of 1942. This is a typical symbolic and interesting scene, full of interest under the moonlight. Images and playful characters. Miró spoke of this dynamic and optimistic period of his career: “Since I returned to Barcelona from Parma, the various paintings I have done have always had three phases – first the suggestion, usually the material; The first is the conscious organization of these forms; the third is the richness of the composition. The forms become real as I work. In other words, I don’t start drawing with the intention of drawing something, I start drawing and as I go As I paint, the image begins to manifest itself. “Even just a casual wipe of the brush may suggest the beginning of a painting. However, the second phase is carefully calculated. The first phase is free and unconscious; but after that the whole painting becomes controlled, in keeping with the desire for disciplined work that I felt from the beginning. Catalan people don’t have the same character as people in Malaga or elsewhere in Spain. We are very down to earth. We Catalans believe that if you want to be able to jump higher, you must always keep your feet firmly on your feet. I come back to reality every now and then, which allows me to jump higher. ” (Excerpted from JJ Sweeney, “Reviews and Interviews,” Partisan Review, New York, February 1948.)
