Description:

|
Catalan Peasant with a Guitar is one of a series of paintings produced after Miró’s first visit to Paris in 1920 and his subsequent exposure to the work of Dadaist and Surrealist poets and artists. From that moment on, the artist began to simplify his compositions in a process that gradually led him to abandon external reality in favor of a peculiar language of signs. Here, the stylized figure of the peasant wearing his characteristic Catalan red cap or barretina is portrayed full length.
