His love of the countryside in Montroig led to his lifelong custom of spending his summers there.
no one who knows great painting can look at it. It was a farm in Montroig, a village about sixty miles from Barcelona, Spain. The Farm is energized by two incompatible artistic realities, corresponding to the polarities of Mirs life. This truncated word also references the fragmented letters and words of the Dadaist and Surrealist poetry by which he was influenced. When Joan Mir was seventeen, he first visited his parents’ new summerhouse, near the Mediterranean Sea. Mir’s love of the early Catalan painters is recognizable in his painstaking attention to each leaf on the tree and furrow in the soil, while his. In the foreground, he writes the word “sard,” short for “Sardana,” Catalonia’s national dance. Mir’s encounter with the Paris avant-garde would bring more modern influences to bear on his work, as seen in The Farm (1921), a semi-realistic, semi-Cubist rendering of his childhood home. Perhaps hinting at this contentious history, Miró depicts the French, Catalan, and Spanish flags in the background. Catalan nationalism has been a subject of debate for more than a century. A politically autonomous region near Spain’s border with France, Catalonia maintains its own parliament, language, history, and culture. But as with so much in the writer’s life, it ended up sparking a bitter fight. Miró’s landscape evokes life on his family’s farm in Montroig, Catalonia, Spain. Ernest Hemingway’s favorite painting was Joan Mir’s 1922 masterpiece The Farm. He wrote in 1934, I won’t change The Farm for any painting in the world. Ernest Hemingway bought it later and compared its artistic accomplishment to James Joyce’s Ulysses. Not only Picasso and Dali, but also Miro, Bunuel and Man Ray. This hunter figure is a stand-in for Miró, and it appears in many of his other works. The painting is regarded as the highest point of Miro’s realistic representations, before he turned towards surrealism. It is somewhat mind blowing to think that Paris in the twenties not only was the place where such great writers as Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway worked and lived, but also some of the greatest names of the fine art scene. In one hand he holds a freshly killed rabbit, in the other, a gun still smoking from the kill. A pipe protrudes just to the right of his bushy mustache, and his heart floats near his chest. The hunter, standing at the left side of the composition, has a stick figure body and a triangular head. Joan Miró’s The Hunter (Catalan Landscape) may seem abstract, but a closer look reveals a landscape populated with a rich assortment of human and animal figures and natural forms that together comprise an iconography of the artist’s life.
