O obrazie
Joan Miró mixed sand and gravel into oil paint for Painting, made in summer 1936 and now in the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago. He applied this mixture to Masonite, preferring the rough board to conventional canvas. The choice continued his search for materials that challenged accepted distinctions in painting. When the work travelled abroad, he told his dealer that loose particles need not cause concern. A surface that shed some material, he thought, would resemble a wall breaking down with age and give the forms greater force.
Opis muzeum
In 1927, in the spirit of modernist challenges to authority and convention, Joan Miró declared his intent to “assassinate painting” and upend its traditional hierarchies of materials and subject matter. Painting demonstrates Miró’s ongoing search for new artistic materials, including gravel and sand mixed into oil paint, which he applied to Masonite, a rugged support he favored over traditional canvas. Fascinated by the effect of such rough substances, the artist told his dealer not to worry if any materials came loose when the work was exhibited overseas, since it would “make the surface . . . look like an old crumbling wall, which will give great force to the formal expression.”
