1925, Joan Miro, L'Addition (The Bill) -- Pompidou Center (Paris)
From the museum label: "l would sit for long moments staring at the bare walls of my studio, trying to capture these forms on paper or on hessian." (Miró)
L'Addition features among the dream paintings Joan Miró made during the summer of 1925 in the family home in Mont-roig (Spain). Biomorphic forms float on a background that is soiled rather than painted, evoking the puppet theatre of Alfred Jarry which fascinated the painter. The fluid lines and digits that come together on this fluctuating surface add to the poetic sentiment of this landscape that is both dictated by the unconscious and meticulously elaborated.
