Description
An early 1917 oil painting by Joan Miró, featuring a still life rendered with bold outlines and an expressive, acidic green colour palette.
Painted in 1917, Still Life with Rose belongs to the early period of Joan Miró's career, a time when he engaged with the visual languages of Fauvism and Cubism. This work displays the artist's experimentation with non-naturalistic colour and flattened perspective, characteristics that would later inform his more abstract compositions. The palette is dominated by acidic greens and yellows, which create a sense of tension between the objects and the surrounding space.
The composition features a bottle, a rose, and a piece of fruit, arranged upon a surface that appears to tilt towards the viewer. Miró employs heavy, dark outlines to define these forms, separating them from the energetic, hatched brushwork of the background. The rose, rendered in shades of pink and red, provides a singular point of warmth against the cool, chartreuse tones that permeate the scene. Rather than seeking to replicate the physical reality of the objects, Miró focuses on the rhythmic quality of the paint application and the structural arrangement of the canvas.
This early work demonstrates the influence of the Catalan avant-garde, particularly the interest in decorative patterns and the rejection of traditional academic modelling. The angularity of the background shapes suggests a dialogue with contemporary geometric trends, yet the fluidity of the brushstrokes remains distinctly personal. By prioritising the expressive potential of colour over descriptive accuracy, Miró begins to move away from the representational constraints of his training. The result is a work that captures a moment of transition, revealing the artist's early interest in the interplay between form, line, and the subjective experience of the subject matter.

Artist Biography
Joan Miro
Miro wanted to murder painting. He said so. 'I want to assassinate painting,' he told an interviewer in 1927. He meant that he wanted to destroy the conventions of easel painting and replace them with something more direct, more childlike, more alive. He then spent the next sixty years making paintings, which is either a contradiction or the longest murder in art history.
He grew up in Barcelona, the son of a goldsmith and watchmaker. He studied at the Escola de Belles Arts and at Francesc Gali's art school, where Gali made students draw objects by touch, blindfolded, to develop their sense of form. Miro went to Paris in 1920 and fell in with the Surrealists. Andre Breton called him 'the most Surrealist of us all', which was a compliment. Miro's paintings from this period look like dreams transcribed by someone who has never seen a dream depicted before: biomorphic shapes, stars, eyes, birds, and moons floating on flat fields of colour.
The Constellations series, twenty-three small gouaches painted during the Second World War, are his masterwork. He started them in Normandy as the German army advanced, continued in Palma de Mallorca after fleeing, and finished them in Barcelona. Each one is dense with interlocking forms connected by fine black lines, like a musical score or a star chart.
His late work includes monumental ceramics, tapestries, and public sculptures. The Barcelona airport has a floor mosaic. The Joan Miro Foundation on Montjuic, designed by his friend Josep Lluis Sert, opened in 1975. He burned canvases, stabbed them, walked on them. He was eighty-five and still trying to murder painting.
