Joan Miro was a seminal figure in 20th-century avant-garde painting. The Spanish artist’s innovative use of line, organic shapes, and color represents a major contribution to Surrealism. Representative of his ability to conjure evocative space - Miro's famed triptych Blue I,II,II (1961), portrays a floating world using only blue, orange, and black. “Little by little, I've reached the stage of using only a small number of forms and colors,” the artist reflected. "It's not the first time that painting has been done with a very narrow range of colors. The frescoes of the tenth century are painted like this." PROVENANCE: Southern Ontario estate
