AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Joan Miro (1893-1983)
Description : Free-flowing lines dance across the composition in this whimsical work. In physics, magnetic flux (or magnetic flow) is the term used to describe the total amount of magnetic field in a given region. The term flux was chosen because the power of a magnet appears to "flow" out of a magnet at one pole and return to the other pole in a circulating pattern. To René Char and Joan Miró, Flux de l'aimant (Magnetic Flow) is a metaphor for something else, a stab at understanding and visualizing the way that poetry and art work upon those who experience them as electricity works upon magnetic fields.
In this work, Miró hints at the circulating pattern of magnetic flux, creating a work with a sense of spherical motion. Spiraling lines in the upper center create a circular vortex that draws the viewer in while a long, curved line swoops down from the right to convey a larger, elliptical form. To the left, Miró utilizes sharp angles to create jagged points reminiscent of a lobster's pincers. The entire piece appears as if composed from one long, flowing line, for the forms appear continuous and connected as they seamlessly merge together.
