The Tilled Field

The Tilled Field, another picture by Miró, must be included while discussing the greatest surrealist works of all time.

The picture, which is largely regarded as Miró's best work, closely mirrors how the artist was known for portraying his surrealist ideas in general.

Some art experts have pointed out how much this painting resembles Miró's more realistically rendered piece The Farm. The Tilled Field, a surrealist depiction of his family's Catalan farm in Mont-Roig del Camp, Catalonia, was painted in 1924.

Despite being depicted in somewhat dreary colors, the artwork shows a setting that is full of vitality. The sky in Miró's painting looks to be a mustard-yellow color, and the earth below is depicted in shades of pale brown that represent the sandy soils of the Catalan environment.

Miró's free-spirited depiction of a location with such personal meaning received high appreciation from several commentators in this piece.
