Joan Miró

Woman (Femme)

In this sculpture Miró takes a
winkle shell that he has used
to depict a woman's head.
   


Miró created the first poster during the later portion of Franco's dictatorship as part of a united campaign in favour of the reestablishment of the Statues of Autonomy in Catalonia.

The second poster was used to collect founds for the republican war fighters.

The thirst poster depicts the football team of Barcelona.

Palma de Mallorca

Xiurells are small pottery figures with a mothpiece added to the back which makes them into whistles. They constitute one of the most primitive and significant plastic expressions of Mallorca's folk art. Miró does sculptures inspirated in the xiurells.

There's also a Miró Foundation in Palma de Mallorca next to his studio.



     

The sickle is a tool used for doing the farm work. It is the symbol of the farmworkers rebellions.

Miró depicts a person with simple elements. The pitchfork is another typical element of the farmworkers.

In this sculpture the pitchfork appears again and for doing the head of this person he uses a frying pan, the egg is the eye and the bone is the mouth.
