Self-Portrait 1917

Joan Miró's 1917 "Self-Portrait" captures the artist in a distinctive style. Miró, known for his Surrealist work, utilizes bold colors and flattened forms, creating a distorted, almost childlike image of himself. The portrait, set against a vibrant green background, showcases the artist's interest in color and form, characteristics that would become hallmarks of his later career. The painting's simplicity and strong graphic elements are representative of Miró's early exploration of the Cubist and Fauvist styles.
