"The Escape Ladder" by Joan Miro (1893-1983) Spanish (pronounced Xo-ahn Mee-row). Oil on Canvas, 1940. Size: 15 X 18
Joan Miro is remembered as a surrealist artist. His work and that of other surrealists is considered irrational, fantastic, and dreamlike.
His pictures are always populated by a delightful menagerie of improbable beasts, people, snakes, and insects. All are flat paper cutouts, painted in his favorite colors of black, yellow, red, blue and green.
"The Escape Ladder" seems to appear as a picture of outer-space: stars, planets, moons, and suns abound in the universe. Comets, shooting stars, and even a Cyclops' eye are amusingly combined and float in a strangely wonderful and witty world of Miro.
The Escape Ladder is available in the following sizes:
