Joan Miro's 1940 The cock was created using gouache, watercolor, and pencil on paper. Miro had a powerful and direct relationship with nature as he stayed on his family's farm at the age of 18 (Catalan countryside). He embraced the flow of nature and identified with how one would with peasants and farmers; once stating he is "much happier with farmers" as opposed to being "among dutchesses in great palaces." Still taking the same idea he, in turn, created The Rooster in 1970 out of bonze. Joan Miro always carried his roots in his work as he evolved. It goes to show who he is at a deeper level and how that comes through in his art.
