Beskrivning
A 1917 still life by Joan Miró, featuring a tabletop arrangement of domestic objects rendered in a bold, Fauvist-inspired style.
Painted in 1917, Nord-Sud represents an early stage in the career of Joan Miró. During this period, the artist engaged with the visual language of Fauvism and Cubism, experimenting with bold colour and flattened perspective. The composition features a tabletop arrangement containing a variety of objects, including a birdcage, a potted plant, a pair of scissors, and a book by Goethe. A central plaque bears the title of the work, Nord-Sud, which refers to the Paris Metro line. This inclusion of text and everyday objects demonstrates the influence of contemporary avant-garde movements on his early practice.
The application of paint is energetic, with visible brushwork and a palette dominated by saturated tones. Miró uses these colours to define the forms of the objects rather than to replicate their natural appearance. The space is compressed, with the table surface tilted upwards to display the items clearly. This approach creates a sense of immediacy and decorative rhythm across the canvas. The inclusion of the birdcage and the specific literary reference suggests a personal, domestic setting, yet the treatment remains detached and analytical. This work offers a view into the formative years of an artist who would later move towards surrealist abstraction. It captures a moment of transition where the artist balanced traditional still life subjects with a modern, expressive application of paint. The composition avoids a single point of focus, instead encouraging the eye to move across the various shapes and patterns arranged on the table.

Artist Biography
Joan Miro
Miro wanted to murder painting. He said so. 'I want to assassinate painting,' he told an interviewer in 1927. He meant that he wanted to destroy the conventions of easel painting and replace them with something more direct, more childlike, more alive. He then spent the next sixty years making paintings, which is either a contradiction or the longest murder in art history.
He grew up in Barcelona, the son of a goldsmith and watchmaker. He studied at the Escola de Belles Arts and at Francesc Gali's art school, where Gali made students draw objects by touch, blindfolded, to develop their sense of form. Miro went to Paris in 1920 and fell in with the Surrealists. Andre Breton called him 'the most Surrealist of us all', which was a compliment. Miro's paintings from this period look like dreams transcribed by someone who has never seen a dream depicted before: biomorphic shapes, stars, eyes, birds, and moons floating on flat fields of colour.
The Constellations series, twenty-three small gouaches painted during the Second World War, are his masterwork. He started them in Normandy as the German army advanced, continued in Palma de Mallorca after fleeing, and finished them in Barcelona. Each one is dense with interlocking forms connected by fine black lines, like a musical score or a star chart.
His late work includes monumental ceramics, tapestries, and public sculptures. The Barcelona airport has a floor mosaic. The Joan Miro Foundation on Montjuic, designed by his friend Josep Lluis Sert, opened in 1975. He burned canvases, stabbed them, walked on them. He was eighty-five and still trying to murder painting.
