Oil Painting Replica Dancer, 1925 by Joan Miró (Inspired By) (1893-1983, Spain) | WahooArt.com

Joan Miró (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 115 x 88 cm - 1925 - Surrealism (i) Dancer was inspired by a dancer Joan Miro saw performing in Barcelona in a bar called Eden Concert. At first glance, the canvas seems to be littered with random shapes but it becomes clearer on analysing it. The canvas is dominated by blue tones that were applied on top of the brown primer, the brown creates a frame on the edges. The black and white ball serves as the head, the line travels down to connect to a heart with a spider at the bottom, suggesting her genitals. Her feet are depicted by stylized notes that may conjure relations to music, one leg is curved upwards, displaying movement. On the right side is a line that has yellow dots in circles moving upwards till it reaches what looks like the tail of a snake, these dots may represent its movement. Although the image represents a dancer, there is an atmosphere of stillness across the canvas. Although Miro never aligned himself with the Surrealist Movement, its influence and similarity are undoubtedly seen and noted in his work, especially in this portrayal of a dancer.
