2. Peinture (Le Chien) by Joan Miró priced at $2.2 Million
This artist, who is also a painter, ceramicist, and sculptor, is internationally known for his childlike quality of most of his artworks.
Surely, the Peinture (Le Chien) is an excellent example that what I said earlier is true.
The Spanish artist has his work sold by Sotheby’s New York for $2.2 million in 2010. The piece is part of Miró’s series of “dream” pictures, which are described “as being the most radical and visionary in the artist’s oeuvre.”
Interestingly, when Miró was making these paintings, he was extremely secretive about them and went to great lengths so that no one would see them before they were formally unveiled.
This was because he knew that his works would be perceived to challenge painting conventions, and while he was right, they were very well-received by the art community.
