Miro

Falling under Surrealism, Miro was the Automatic version opposed to Dali's Surrealism. When it comes to Surrealism I am drawn to the automatic. Miro's work starts out as a subconscious doodle that he develops into fantastical imagery. His color palette is as arbitrary as his under-drawings. He used mostly solid colors, often primary, and the way he employs them reminds me of the De Stijl balance. His use of line, on the other hand, is free and often described as whimsical.

There are characters and a story in every one of his paintings.
