More From Joan Miro

Never, never do i set to work on a canvas in the state it comes in from the shop. i provoke accidents - a form, a splotch of color. any accident is good enough. i let the matiere decide. then i prepare a ground by, for example, wiping my brushes on the canvas. letting fall some drops of turpentine on it would do just as well. if i want to make a drawing i crumple the sheet of paper or i wet it; the flowing water traces a line and this line may suggest what is to come next.
Fall Drawing Color
Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile. you don't know how paralyzing that is, that stare of a blank canvas is, which says to the painter, ‘you can't do a thing’. the canvas has an idiotic stare and mesmerizes some painters so much that they turn into idiots themselves. many painters are afraid in front of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the real, passionate painter who dares and who has broken the spell of `you can't' once and for all.
Real Broken Passionate
It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and i use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as i go along until the medium becomes pure oil. i use as little oil as i can possibly help, and that's my method.

Wayside school is falling down, falling down, falling down, wayside school is falling down my fair lady. kids go splat as they hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, kids go splat as the hit the ground my fair lady . broken bones and blood and gore, blood and gore, blood and gore, broken bones and blood and gore my fair lady. we don't have to go to school no more, school no more, school no more, we don't have to go to school no more my fair lady.
Fall School Kids
Most of the paint i use is a liquid, flowing kind of paint. the brushes i use are more a sticks rather than brushes – the brush doesn’t touch the surface on the canvas, it’s just above [so] i am able to be more free and to have greater freedom and move about the canvas, with greater ease.
Moving Use Ease
What is an artistic picture? an artistic picture is very simple. the creator is not the producer. the creator is not the star. the creator is the director, the person who realizes the picture, like a poet, like an artist. the creator of the picture is free to do whatever he wants, how he wants to do it. that is an artistic picture.
