About Femme Devant Le Soleil
A vividly coloured, searing expression of pathos, Femme devant le soleil belongs to a small series of seven paintings created by Joan Miró in a moment of intense creativity in July 1938 while he was staying in Varengeville-sur-Mer, on the Normandy coast of France. Painted on 7th July, Femme devant le soleil is the third of this hauntingly powerful group, in which hallucinatory visions of women, presented both singularly and in groups, dominate. Appearing monstrous and omnipotent, beautiful, hopeful and optimistic, or vulnerable and terrified, these figures, painted against the backdrop of impending war, are some of the most vivid and powerful of the artist’s career. With its luminous, rich colour and the glowing red orbs from which the figure is constructed, Femme devant le soleil can be seen to radiate a sense of hope and strength, a powerful image of vitality and resilience.
