Abstract Meaning

The second piece is what I believe to be Miro. I think this is a very interesting piece because of the way in which the shapes appeared to be distorted. A while ago I learned that Miro stood out for, like most artists, a certain technique. He enhanced his work through the use of organic shapes. As it is evident in this piece, Miro would take shapes or objects found in nature and distort them, making it hard for the observer to decipher what was being shown exaclty. In the case of this piece, the observer's attention tends to be drawn towards the large, white figure in the center of the painting. Due to the evident contrast in color, their eyes tend to shift towards the bright blue shapes, which in reality mean nothing. I noticed that the big person who draws the most attention is actually playing the guitar, and that bellow them is a spotted dog. The rest I wasn't able to make out. They appeared to be only figures too small to actually depict in detail. Miro isn't one of my favorite artists, for I am not a big fan of abstract art. However, his pieces leave plenty of room for interpretation, and that is what I love about them. That you can endlessly derive from them some sort of meaning, although it may not be evident right away. Miro's work is mestyrious and somewhat confusing, and the fact that it is difficult to understand makes it far more fascinating.
