The artwork, “Untitled” by Joan Miró from the year 1925, is an oil painting on canvas that measures 130 by 97 centimeters. This piece is embraced by the Surrealism movement and demonstrates aspects of Automatic Painting. It stands as a quintessential example of figurative art within Miró’s oeuvre and is currently held in a private collection.
The painting features a composition with a vibrant interplay of abstract forms and lines on a warm, earth-toned background. Dominant within the composition is an amoebic white shape that can be interpreted as a face due to the presence of an eye-like form featuring concentric circles and a single red dot at the center. To the right, there is a bright yellow shape, similarly abstract and possibly representing an organic form, connecting to a pure white element via a fine black line. There are further abstract shapes, such as the blue shape on the left that resembles a hand, and a series of white dots that form a curved line across the right side of the artwork, suggesting movement or a trajectory through space. The artwork is connected by a network of black lines that bring a sense of cohesion and dynamism to the otherwise disparate elements, invoking the subconscious and dream-like qualities characteristic of Surrealism.
