Joan Miró - Women and Bird in the Moonlight, 1949

 

Joan Miró - Women and Bird in the Moonlight, 1949
oil on canvas, 81,3 × 66 cm
Tate, UK

This work belongs to a series of paintings that Miró made in 1949–50 in Majorca. Miró’s use of simple shapes and bright colours constitutes a highly personal visual language, often charged with symbolic meaning. In this case, the women and bird of the title are easily identifiable under the moon and stars. This imagery suggests a harmonious and elemental relationship between man and nature, which the artist felt was threatened by modern civilisation. via
