Surrealist pictorial language
Styles and development:
e developed his unique style: organic forms and flattened picture planes drawn with a sharp line
Surrealist because of his interest in automatism and the use of symbols (for example, ovoids with wavy lines emanating from them)
Miró's style was influenced in varying degrees by Surrealism and Dada
Miró's surrealist origins evolved out of "repression" much like all Spanish surrealist and magic realist work
Experimental style:
He pursued his own interests in the art world, ranging from automatic drawing and surrealism, to expressionism, Lyrical Abstraction, and Color Field painting. Four-dimensional painting was a theoretical type of painting Miró proposed in which painting would transcend its two-dimensionality and even the three-dimensionality of sculpture.[
