Joan Miro made paintings that were painted in abstract forms but they had a storyline behind them. You actually can see characters and things in their simplest forms. I really think he had original thing going for him. I would like to learn how he did it.

This image grabbed hold of me when I saw it wrapped around a book cover at Barnes and Nobles. I remember having to analyze and write about this one for an art class in High School back in 1984. Super flat simple shapes and bold colors. The stick man is peeing I think.
