“Painting by Joan Miró (1893 - 1983): Femme et oiseaux, 1966 (Oil on canvas)” / Mayoral Galeria d'Art / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.14031
The work by masters are easily observed by their decisive and reductive brush strokes. You don’t need the excessive marks to illustrate your intention.
Titled “Femme et oiseaux” or “Woman and birds” in English, Spanish painter Joan Miró painted this when he was 73 (1966), which is arguably the late stage of an artist’s life.
Miró’s flat and organic forms accented with color planes are a signature style of his paintings. He is generally considered a surrealist, though his work is very different than other surrealist artists like Dali. His abstract forms show some influence from Picasso, though his use of primary colors are unique.
He is one of my favorite artists of all times. Great works are simply that—great. It matters not whether they are popular or not.

# Joan Miró
Joan Miró i Ferrà (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒuˈam miˈɾo]) (April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. A museum dedicated to his work, the Fundació Joan Miró, was established in his native city in 1975.
Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s onwards, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favour of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.
