Packed full of animals, farm equipment, and plants, The Farm depicts a view of Miró’s family property in Mallorca. The artist’s paintings during this time were often described as “detailist” due to the sheer amount of motifs and elements he fit onto the canvases. Miró explains, “The Farmwas a résumé of my entire life in the country. I wanted to put...
Harlequin's Carnival is an early example of Miró’s surrealist works, and it also features some of the artist’s first biomorphic forms. It depicts a festive, crowded scene where abstract characters seem to be caught up in a celebration. The figure depicted in the central-left portion of the canvas—with a half red, half-blue mask and diamond pattern ...
Dutch Interior I is based on a 17th-century painting by Hendrick Martensz Sorgh that depicts a lute player. This work is the first in a series of three that Miró painted after visiting the Netherlands for the first time in 1928. The artist bought a postcard reproduction of Sorgh’s The Lutenistat the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam a few months prior to be...
From 1925 to 1928—under the influence of the Dadaists, Surrealists, and Paul Klee—Miró painted a series of “dream pictures” and “imaginary landscapes.” In Dog Barking at the Moon, a colorful, distorted canine stands on brown earth, looking up to the half-moon and bird above him. The subjects create a playful mood, but the dark colors and empty spac...
In 1939, during the outbreak of World War II, Miró fled Paris with his family to a small village in Normandy that often experienced blackouts. He wrote, “I had always enjoyed looking out of the windows at night and seeing the sky and the stars and the moon, but now we weren't allowed to do this anymore, so I painted the windows blue and I took my b...
Miró's three large-format paintings Blue I – III are part of a series of triptychs that he painted at the beginning of the 1960s in his studio in Mallorca. He was internationally famous at the time, and perhaps the enormous scale of the three 12 feet by nine feet canvases was a bold representation of his confidence. Miró often used large fields of ...
Miró turned to sculpture in the 1940s. “It is in sculpture that I will create a truly phantasmagoric world of living monsters,” he said. “What I do in painting is more conventional.” Pájaro lunar (Moonbird)depicts a hybrid creature with a moon-shaped face and horns as well as two arms that resemble wings. The three-dimensional form references the t...

- The Farm. A dramatically tilted picture plane presents a view of the artist's masia or "family farm," thronging with animals, farm implements, plants, and evidence of human activity.
- Harlequin's Carnival. This painting depicts a festive and crowded scene where quixotic biomorphs seem to be caught up in a lively celebration. Every form both evokes resemblances and refuses them, as at center left, the harlequin, identified by the black and white checks of the costume of the Italian commedia dell'arte's stock figure, has a body shaped like a distorted guitar.
- Dog Barking at the Moon. In a spare landscape that is both Surrealistic and humorously cartoonish, divided between rich chocolate earth and a black night sky, a whimsically distorted dog, depicted in bright colors, barks up at the moon above him.
- Dutch Interior (I) This painting is based on Hendrick Martensz Sorgh's Lute Player (1661), a Dutch Golden Age genre painting showing a domestic interior where a young man with a small dog at his feet serenades a young woman who seems unimpressed, as a cat looks out from under the table.
