On the other hand, Miró always tried to maintain his autonomy from the Surrealist group and cultivated, for example, an enormous admiration for Picasso.
Mirò between microorganisms and colors
A cycle of large oil paintings pushes comical images and decorative hieroglyphics into the background, while the search for pictorial and chromatic constants takes hold. These paintings abandon the realm of magical, swarming microorganisms; they are almost always covered in a flat, solid color, with large, monochrome surfaces, sometimes overlaid with a second layer of a different color.
Among these vast paintings we find some in which a single colour, for example blue , covers the entire surface , while a thin, sinuous black stripe interrupts its integrity.
