Description:

|
Most of Joan Miró’s paintings dating from between 1925 and 1929 are no longer descriptive as before and are practically monochrome. The only motifs that appear against the extensive blue, white, ochre or gray backgrounds are a series of undulating biomorphic forms, created by the dictates of dreams or spontaneous impulses, which Jacques Dupin identified as "the last stage in Joan Miró’s dream paintings" and William Rubin as an example of his "automatic painting." However his working method was to do spontaneous drawings, then carefully transfer those to canvas. (Source: Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum [website]; https://www.museothy ssen.org/en/)
