{"product_id":"blue-ii-joan-miro","title":"Blue II - Joan Miró","description":"\u003cp\u003eA seminal abstract work from 1961, Blue II features a vast blue field punctuated by a singular red stroke and a sequence of black dots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue II is one of three large-scale canvases produced by Joan Miró in 1961. This work represents a shift in his practice towards extreme reduction, where the artist strips away figurative elements to focus on the interaction between colour and form. The composition is dominated by a field of blue, applied with a soft, atmospheric quality that suggests depth without traditional perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross this expanse, Miró places a series of black dots of varying sizes, arranged in a loose, horizontal trajectory. To the left, a single, elongated stroke of orange-red provides a vertical counterpoint to the horizontal alignment of the dots. The application of the red paint appears blurred at the edges, contrasting with the sharp, defined silhouettes of the black forms. This arrangement creates a sense of movement and tension across the surface of the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiró often spoke of his desire to transcend the physical limitations of painting, aiming to reach a state of pure expression. In this series, the vastness of the blue field functions as a void, allowing the minimal shapes to occupy the space with greater weight. The work avoids narrative or symbolic interpretation, instead inviting the viewer to engage with the physical presence of the paint and the spatial relationships established by the artist. By removing extraneous detail, Miró forces a direct encounter with the fundamental components of the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/the-return-of-the-flame-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Return of the Flame - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/provocation-victor-brauner\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eProvocation - Victor Brauner — Victor Brauner\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Joan Miró","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58840632754511,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58840810357071,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58840810389839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58840810422607,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58840810455375,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Blue-II_Poster_CompositorV1_1789989075342.jpg?v=1789989893","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/blue-ii-joan-miro","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
