Overall view with frame; André Breton himself remarked that 'Miró is the most surrealist of us all', in spite of the fact that Miró never officially joined the group. Beginning in 1938-1939, Miró experienced a shift away from the more political works of 1934-1937. In such works he expressed a poetic wonder at the universe in a solitary communion with objects and living things, by means of imagery of almost childlike innocence: skies filled with stars, birds and schematic female figures all engaged in a sacred dance. These are among the high points of Miró's art and of his vision of the world. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 7/14/2015)
