One of Miró's most evocative series, Joan Miró Les Voyants (The Seers), 1971 explores the struggle of Seers who find themselves in two different worlds, the metaphysical and transcendental. In this image a face appears before us in bold black outlines, as whirling colors, forms, and strokes surround them. The background is alive with energy and the atmosphere is one of a struggle between the figure and it’s environment, as the spirit and the body struggle to dominate. Perhaps a deeper and more personal symbolism can be found however, for isn’t the artist the seer of their canvas?
