- Joan Miro – “Still Life With Old Shoe”
Each object relates to a heavy shadow, represented by black free-forms of the sort we associate with Miró’s vocabulary of shapes-forms that came to be emblems of modern art in the plaques ofHans Arp, in the flat metal pieces on Calder mobiles and in modernesque jewelry and coffee tables, and which have their natural counterparts in deeply lobed leaves or kidneys or human feet. It is possible to read the shadow cast by the gin bottle as a weeping silhouette, but it is also possible to read too much into the painting, wanting it to be deep. The shoe is painted in yellows and greens, reds and bright blues-footwear for a one-legged harlequin.
