Untitled is a 1928 graphite by Joan Miró, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows simple, wobbly shapes on lined paper. A round head with stick arms and legs floats midair, like a child’s drawing. Below, a squiggly line might be a person lying down, and a small box sits near a tiny figure. The lines are light, almost erased in spots. This was drawn by Joan Miró in 1928, when he was playing with loose, freehand marks instead of careful details. Try looking up Joan Miró to see how his work shifted from this sketch to his bold, dreamlike paintings.
Joan Miró i Ferrà ( mirr-OH, US also mee-ROH, Catalan: ; 20 April 1893 – 25 December 1983) was a Catalan painter, sculptor and ceramist from Spain.
