The Ladder of Escape || Joan Miro

The Ladder of Escape, Joan Miro (1893-1983)

Joan Miro is remembered as a surrealist artist. His work and that of other surrealists is considered irrational, fantastic, and dreamlike.

What I find defeating in a surrealistic art like this is that "realistically speaking", dreams are far more advance and active than that. We don't normally have a laundry of thoughts lurking around our subconsious. When we remember a dream, they bring with the phenomenal feelings that makes the dream recollection more real.

To me, this is just really beautiful to look at. Its cartoonish which brings a smile, like seeing the ladder of escape.
