The Spanish artist Joan Miro', (1893-1983) rejected traditional paintings that were "conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness," instead he used color like "words that shape poems."
He was considered a leading Surrealist, even though he never became a part of the group that believed that one could express the true functioning of thought in the unconscious. He did pioneer automatism, which was a random drawing that tried to express human Psyche. Most of his drawings represented the mind and what the mind was thinking and how it was responding to those thoughts.

Similarly, to Miro’s painting of the 1960ies, the earrings from the same time period feature color and shapes that have their starting point in a center – mabe pearl – and relate to the painting’s use of black, as separating/unifying space and colors, as far as their intensity is concerned. The symmetrical correspondences between the colorful areas, the contrapuntal relationships between light and dark, hot and cold as well as the contrasts of quantity and quality make this painting – and the earrings - a masterpiece of bold color and a signature piece of their time.
