“Approximately in 1918 Joan Miro enters the so-called ‘detailistic phase’ (the term was introduced by Rofols, a fellow member of the Courbet group). Jacques Dupin, Miros biographer, called this period ‘poetic realism’. Landscapes, painted in Montroig, where the artist spent the summer at his parents’ farm, have deep perspectives which are full of methodically painted details.”
