Woman, Bird, Star (In Honor of Pablo Picasso). 1966-1973 Joan MIr Woman, Bird, Star(In Honor of Pablo Picasso). 1966-1973. Joan Mir There is a friendship story behind this painting: a friendship between Joan Mir and Pablo Picasso. Mir started this painting in 1966, and the day Picasso died, in 1973, he ended it, signed it, dated it and clarified that it was in honor to his friend. How did these two great painters of the 20th century meet? It is a well-known anecdote and reflects their spirit: Mir introvert and shy, and Picasso extrovert and with an overwhelming personality. Their mothers knew each other. One day that the young Miro (12 years younger than Picasso) travelled to Paris, they asked him to give to Picasso, an ensaimada (a pastry the Cubist painter liked very much). Mir had to go many times to Picassos domicile until he finally found him at home. But by that time, the ensaimada was dry, it had lost its flavor. Picasso, surprised at the boys gesture reacted in the Picassos style: Why havent you eaten the ensaimada? From the first moment, and beyond affection, they admired each other as artists and enriched and influenced mutually. Mir took elements of Cubism from Picasso, and the later who valued the spontaneity of the art of the young Mir took his work to a Surrealist stage. In this painting, we can find three of the most distinctive elements in all the work of Joan Mir: the woman, the bird and the star. All is simple, very simple: lines, shapes, color. The artist, who was also at the end of his career, taught us a great lesson about art, and about life: to gain freedom is to gain simplicity. LH BIN#29
