Garden by Joan Miro (April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983 ). Surrealist Spanish painter. Happy images in gentle pastels, some heavily outlined with dark lines, against a flat, multi-hued blue sky. Covering the whole surface, the garden is populated with child-like representations of bird-like creatures, multi-colred plants and floating objects. These images - the result of visual free associations - appeared to Miro at night, while in bed. They are full of joy and innocence, very pleasing to the eye, and soothing for the soul. Watching this picture, we can reconnect to our own childhood, step into the garden of our own imagination where all was simple, where all was well.
