Joan Miro

Joan Miro was a Spanish sculpture, painter, and ceramicist who has a museum dedicated to his work. The sculpture I chose is called Moon Bird. This piece of artwork was made in 1996 and it is made of bronze. It is 234 X 210 X 150 cm and it is on display in the Sabatini Garden. This sculpture to Miro represents a number of themes common to Surrealism and the language Miro wanted to create. The painting Miro made in 1978 is called Woman with a cute little hat, star. This artwork is 116 X 89 cm and it is made of acrylic and oil on cloth. I believe these two pieces of artwork are similar due to having almost the same shapes. In both artworks I see horns coming out of both of them. Also, I believe the shape of the bodies is also similar.
