Need Art Expert
on: March 04, 2011, 10:25:13 AM
Hi; I'm going to be moving soon, and am shopping around for art (prints, lol) atm.  There is a piece I'm interested in that I used in one of my videos, but I can't remember the title and thus can't find it.  I'm 95% sure it's Miro, but that's all that I remember.  Can anyone recognize this piece:




Thanks.
If this work is so threatening, it is not because it's simply strange, but competent, rigorously argued and carrying conviction.

Unfortunately, I do not recognise it, but are you aure it's a Miró? The style doesn't seem to fit; if anything, I'd guess it to be a Rothko.

Do tell if you find out! And sorry to be not more helpfull here...

all best,

In the long run, any words about music are less important than the music. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not worth talking to (Shostakovich)

No, it is definitely not Rothko.  Originally I thought it was an early work of Kline or Cumberland; I remember it being one of the very most-important abstract expressionists, but other than that, I really don't remember.  I just had it in my head that it is a lesser-known piece by Miro very strongly.  It reminded me mostly of Kline's Scuderia.  I don't think it's Still.

Scuderia:
