Women at Sunrise
Joan Miró
Oil on canvas (1946)

Imaginative figures wearing triangular black skirts float in space in this little painting. Like other Surrealist artists, Joan Miró sought to express a reality that was above and beyond the conventional realm. Toward that end, he experimented with "pure psychic automatism," a form of doodling without the intervention of rational thought. Miró was further inspired by the art of children and the Altamira cave paintings in northern Spain.

This is great. The feet of the figure center-right remind me of a jester’s shoes. I see there’s another sun there, in yellow, above his head. Probably a fading moon, though it’s so bright.
