In 1940, Joan Miró moved to Majorca and developed an artistic vocabulary based on the simplification of forms, combined with experimentation with materials.

He created his works as poems in which his figures engage in dialogue. ‘The Woman and the Bird’, which we see here, was one of his favourite themes.

Always in search of invention, he played with the transparency of materials and lines. Oil, pastel and sinuous charcoal strokes are superimposed, giving us a third dimension in this work.
