Joan Miró. This piece of art belongs to mature surrealism, which doesn't dissociate from reality by escaping into abstractions or absurdity (as many contemporary art movements did, such as Dadaism), but draws on the objectivity and transforms it into dreamlike images. The assemblage technique was an avant-garde take on collage, adding the third dimension to it. Miró's "Object" is comprised of objects such as a stuffed parrot, a map, a stocking. The objects are there, and they are recognizable; however, their mutual relations, as well as the whole piece's meaning, are not rationally understandable.
