Or definitely the pink, blue and green stains in the self-portrait we discussed before. Planets are another common element in Miro’s skies. Sorry I had to crop it to stick to the format of the blog, but you’ll recognize two black and blue legs of a star with a hair-looking tail. They can also be shooting stars, like the one at the top of the last image in the post (remember my warning at the top and don’t go there if you don’t want to read about women’s genitals in Miro). And they can even become part of some hybrid animal, like the bird in this fragment of “ Woman, bird, stars“. In such cases stars can become characters, and hence get hair. But sometimes it’s a more elaborate star with a precise perimeter. Often just 3 traits crossing at the center (a childish star of 6 points). Joan Miro’s paintings are dotted with stars. Actually all of the pictures in the post show hair except for the one I chose for birds. But in the other points of this post you’ll find more examples. I chose “ Figure in front of the Sun” to illustrate this point, because towards the end of his life Miro has become such a minimalist that the use of hair to tell us what is what is highly appreciated. It’s so much fun to be able to say “Hey, that’s where I need to start looking at the painting to read the story!”. ![]() ![]() #MIRO APOLOGY HOW TO#Sometimes it’s 4 traits or more instead of 3, but who cares? Once you know how to find them, it doesn’t matter that much how many he depicted. Not a line representing a mane, but just three little traits in one side of what you need to interpret as the head (or the top of the character). In Miro there are no strict rules…Īnd what he does is adding “hair”. Or should I say “main characters”, rather than people, because you’ll see him doing that to birds or stars sometimes. With Miro that can often be easy, since he uses a particular clue to identify people in his paintings. We read its title and try to find some clue that gives us a starting point. ![]() When presented with a painting that isn’t realistic, it is just natural to want to understand it. ![]()
