Still Life with Rose 1916

"Still Life with Rose" is a 1916 painting by Joan Miró, a prominent Spanish painter. This artwork is characteristic of Miró's early style, influenced by Cubism, and shows the artist's transition from a figurative to a more abstract approach. Miró's signature use of vibrant colors and bold lines is evident in this piece, where a still life of bottles, a bowl, and a rose is rendered in a simplified, almost geometric form. The green background, dominated by swirling lines and geometric shapes, gives the composition a dynamic energy, while the rose stands out in its red hues. This work is a valuable example of Miró's early experimentation with form and color, prefiguring his iconic style.
