{"product_id":"joan-miro-characters-in-the-night-1942","title":"Joan Miro, Characters in the night, 1942","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"49\" data-end=\"420\"\u003eCreated in 1942 during one of the most turbulent periods of the twentieth century, \u003cem data-start=\"132\" data-end=\"157\"\u003eCharacters in the Night\u003c\/em\u003e exemplifies Joan Miró’s ability to transform anxiety and displacement into poetic visual language. Painted while Europe was engulfed in war, the work belongs to a phase in which Miró’s imagery became increasingly distilled, intimate, and psychologically charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"422\" data-end=\"951\"\u003eAgainst a dark, atmospheric ground—suggestive of nocturnal vastness—floating biomorphic figures emerge in delicate tension. These “characters” are not literal beings but symbolic presences: hybrid forms combining eyes, stars, limbs, and abstract signs. Miró reduces anatomy to essential marks—dots, lines, crescents—creating a constellation-like composition that feels suspended between earth and cosmos. The night becomes both setting and metaphor, evoking uncertainty while offering a realm of imagination and interior freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1339\"\u003eThe palette is restrained yet luminous, with subtle contrasts that animate the surface without overwhelming its stillness. Miró’s line—precise, calligraphic, and rhythmically controlled—guides the viewer through a quiet choreography of forms. Despite the simplicity of elements, the composition conveys emotional complexity: solitude, resilience, and the persistence of creative spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003eDuring this wartime period, Miró retreated from overt Surrealist theatrics toward a more introspective and spiritual abstraction. \u003cem data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1496\"\u003eCharacters in the Night\u003c\/em\u003e reflects this evolution. Rather than depicting external reality, the painting suggests an inner universe populated by symbolic actors—dream figures navigating darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1667\" data-end=\"1907\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe work stands as a testament to Miró’s enduring exploration of myth, poetry, and cosmic space. It captures a moment when art became both refuge and resistance, transforming the uncertainty of night into a field of imaginative possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintsXXL","offers":[{"title":"canvas \/ 16''x20''(40x52)","offer_id":52565367783690,"sku":"195267","price":58.31,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 19''x24''(48x62)","offer_id":52565367816458,"sku":"195267","price":61.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 23''x30''(58x76)","offer_id":52565367849226,"sku":"195267","price":67.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 27''x35''(68x88)","offer_id":52565367881994,"sku":"195267","price":76.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 31''x40''(78x102)","offer_id":52565367914762,"sku":"195267","price":102.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 35''x45''(88x114)","offer_id":52565367947530,"sku":"195267","price":121.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 16''x20''(40x52)","offer_id":52565367980298,"sku":"195267","price":54.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 19''x24''(48x62)","offer_id":52565368013066,"sku":"195267","price":58.31,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 23''x30''(58x76)","offer_id":52565368045834,"sku":"195267","price":66.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 27''x35''(68x88)","offer_id":52565368078602,"sku":"195267","price":72.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 31''x40''(78x102)","offer_id":52565368111370,"sku":"195267","price":96.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 35''x45''(88x114)","offer_id":52565368144138,"sku":"195267","price":113.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 16''x20''(40x52)","offer_id":52565368176906,"sku":"195267","price":51.17,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 19''x24''(48x62)","offer_id":52565368209674,"sku":"195267","price":54.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 23''x30''(58x76)","offer_id":52565368242442,"sku":"195267","price":63.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 27''x35''(68x88)","offer_id":52565368275210,"sku":"195267","price":69.02,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 31''x40''(78x102)","offer_id":52565368307978,"sku":"195267","price":92.82,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 35''x45''(88x114)","offer_id":52565368340746,"sku":"195267","price":109.48,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/9656\/3466\/files\/195267.jpg?v=1771229352","url":"https:\/\/printsxxl.com\/es\/products\/joan-miro-characters-in-the-night-1942","provider":"PrintsXXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
