About this work

This painting is mostly flat colors with bold blocks. There’s a big red circle on top of a blue square. Below, black ink scribbles spell out "Miro" in uneven letters. A thin black band has a star, a crescent, and a wavy line. The bottom right corner has a tiny rainbow of colored squares. The handwritten notes in French look like a quick sketch of a poem or idea. They’re messy but full of energy, almost like doodles. If you like this kind of bold, playful art, check out Joan Miró.
