Joan Miró

it took me a while to notice the other creatures in the painting because the contrast of the thin lines and big marks of color makes them fade into the background. Joan Miró uses very geometric shapes (triangles, circles) and childlike illustrations of stars and dots to create an image with multiple layers.

I really like this piece because of the way Joan Miro integrates geometric and organic shapes as well as thick and thin lines. I think that it is interesting because it appeals aesthetically in a simple way with the curving, cartoonish lines, organic shapes, and colors, but then it also engages the viewer when you take a closer look to realize the different layers of the piece and the more formal structural elements and shapes.
