Joan Miro

The painting is of, “Man and Woman in Front of a Pile of Excrement” by Joan Miro. This painting illustrated the tragedy and torture of the Spanish Civil War. This painting was created in the time of rioting in Spain after the War. This paintings supposed to relate to the period of unease that Spain was going through. I liked the use of the bright colors and the abstract ideas involved. I felt that the sculpture “Jeune fille S’evadant” looked similar to the painting. Both used and incorporated the bright complementary colors. I also see similarities in that the sculpture is abstract and the person has no arms but humanistic legs. I read that the exhibition this sculpture is from is when he felt attracted to the objects with magnetic force, and added an object to another object like our found object sculptures. I just liked how different this sculpture was and how original it became as he was able to create something so different.
