Description: 
Jacques Dupin gives the name "oneiric paintings" to the group of pictures Joan Miró did in Paris in 1925, 1926 and 1927, which is to say the period that the artist was closest to Surrealist poetics. From 1923-1924, Miró’s output began to evolve towards Surrealism, and this would have a definitive effect on his future production. It led the artist to experiment with a new language, taking as his starting point that most authentic of Surrealist procedures, Automatism.
