Description:
|
From 1923-1924, Joan Miró moved away from the precision of what is known as his “detailistic phase”, in order to radically change the direction of his output, pushing it more towards the proposals of Dadaism and Surrealism. The creative freedom that came with his new pictorial approach led him to experiment with a new language, the starting point of which was that most authentic of Surrealist procedures, Automatism.
