The Birth of the World 1925

"The Birth of the World" (1925) by Joan Miró is a seminal work of Surrealism, a movement that sought to express the subconscious mind through dreamlike imagery. Miró's signature style, featuring biomorphic forms, bold colors, and simplified lines, is evident in this painting. The artwork depicts a vibrant, abstract world with a floating red circle, a black triangle, and a white disc, all connected by a sinuous yellow line. The painting evokes a sense of wonder and mystery, challenging traditional notions of representation and inviting viewers to interpret its symbolic meaning. This artwork is a cornerstone of Miró's oeuvre and is now housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
