Harlequin's Carnival (Joan Miro, Surrealism)

Harlequin's Carnival

The world of the imagination and subconscious, rather than being an end in itself, was for Miro a way of giving shape in his paintings to his lived experiences and his memories. Harlequin's Carnival is seen by art critics as an account of the human subconscious mind. It is considered the highest point in Miro's personal surrealist style. Along with the Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali, Harlequin's Carnival has become the most iconic images of Surrealism Movement.
