The Skiing Lesson 1966

“The Skiing Lesson” is a 1966 painting by Joan Miró, a prominent figure in the Surrealist movement. It is characterized by Miró’s signature style of bold colors and simple, biomorphic forms. The painting features a central red figure, possibly a person, with a blue eye and a large black form behind it, reminiscent of a mountain or a ski slope. The background is a mottled grey with scattered black lines and shapes, which could represent the winter landscape. Miró’s art, known for its playful and dreamlike quality, invites viewers to interpret its symbolism and find meaning in its abstract forms.
