The Pink Twilight Caresses the Women and the Birds (1941) is an evocative work from Joan Miró’s celebrated wartime period, when he developed a highly poetic visual language that merged fragility, dream, and cosmic symbolism. Painted during the era of the “Constellations”, the piece reflects Miró’s deep turn toward lyrical abstraction as he sought refuge in imagination amid global turmoil.
The composition unfolds like a soft dusk vision: a pink twilight—suggested through delicate tones, floating shapes, and an atmosphere of glow—settles over a constellation of abstracted women and birds. These figures emerge through Miró’s characteristic signs: slender, looping lines; star points; crescent forms; and playful, organic silhouettes. The women appear as simplified, spiritualized presences, with elongated bodies and radiant eyes. The birds, meanwhile, glide or perch lightly within the scene, their bodies reduced to minimal marks yet infused with personality and motion.
Miró weaves the figures into a rhythmic network of dots, sparks, and curving trajectories, giving the impression of a sky alive with quiet movement. The interaction between women and birds expresses harmony, tenderness, and a sense of shared space under a glowing sky.
The atmosphere is serene yet subtly surreal—an allegory of peace, companionship, and the gentle mysteries of twilight. Miró transforms the evening light into a poetic force that “caresses” the world, merging human and natural forms into a single, dreamlike landscape.
