Miro, "Dutch Interior II,"

Imitationalism

  This drawing is a complete failure when it comes to imitationalism. In the picture there is what seems to be a bunch of crazy looking animals that look nothing like how they should  in real life. There is no shading and everything is flat, warped, and unrealistic. Some of the colors are somewhat normal, but some of them are clearly way off there normal color.

Emotion

  The emotion in this picture is very exciting and energetic.  At the same time it's a bit creepy. because the animal shapes are distorted.  The colours aren't very vibrant but the way they are used makes the painting more exciting.    The tones are rich  and mostly warm.  The way the lines curve and join together and the way the animals are streched and warped gives me the feeling of calm.     At the same time it is stressful  to look at  because the eye can't understand what it is looking at.   

Formalism

   All the lines are crisp.  There are different textures that help create a mood.   The rough texture of some of the painting makes  the painting look unfinished. The picture is totally two dimensional creating the effect of flatness.   There is no shading and  the colours are basically solid. The negative space is around and between all the animals  and the positive space is the animals.  Because there is so little shading there is also very little detail.
