This podcast was created for Art of the Avant-Gardes, 1900–1945 (Spring 2011, Professor Ellen McBreen).
Jesse O’Neil ’14 and Tu Nguyen ’14 explore how the abstract figures and bright colors of the Surrealist Miró combine to create a sense of dynamic flight. They describe how viewers may potentially lose themselves amid the movement of the painting’s celestial landscape.
