Femme dans un paysage 1977

Joan Miró made this painting, *Femme dans un paysage*, and you can see it’s all about letting the hand lead, right? The colors are simple: yellows and greens. It’s like he’s just messing around, trying to figure things out as he goes. Look at how he uses these flat planes of color, but then there are these little gestures, like the black lines, that are all free and kind of wobbly. The canvas texture is visible, which makes it feel super immediate, like he just slapped the paint on there. The way he leaves space around each shape gives it room to breathe. It’s not about perfection; it’s about process. Miró reminds me a bit of Paul Klee, you know? Both of them playing with these childlike forms but with a seriously sophisticated understanding of painting. It's a conversation, this painting thing, and everyone's just riffing off each other, trying to say something new, but always knowing it's never really finished.
