Man and Woman in Front of a Pile of Excrement
''Man and Woman in Front of a Pile of Excrement'' (''Homme et femme devant un tas d'excréments'') is a 1935 oil painting on copper by Joan Miró.
==Description==
The painting was made on a piece of copper in the week between 15 and 22 October 1935. Miró said that the subject resulted from trying to represent the tragedy and torture of the Spanish Civil War. The painting was one of twelve known as the ''Wild Paintings''.〔 Half of these were painted on copper whilst the remaining six were on the type of hardboard called Masonite. These were constructed in the period of public rioting in Spain that resulted in the Civil War. Miró said this painting was about a period of unease. The painting shows a man and woman reaching out for an embrace but neither of them are moving. The enlarged genitals and lurid colouring have been described as full of "disgust and a loathsome sexuality".〔(Joan Miró: A fine line ), Adrian Searle, 11 April 2011, ''The Guardian'', accessed September 2011〕 The figures represented Miró's pessimism with the situation in Catalonia. This painting has been described as the "key painting" representing Miró's foreboding about the forthcoming civil war.〔(Barcelona Travel Guides ), ''New York Times'', accessed September 2011〕 A chiaroscuro effect is created by the black sky against which the disjointed limbs of the figures are highlighted.〔(Man and Woman in Front of a Pile of Excrement ), Joan Miró, 1935, Joan Miró Foundation. Accessed September 2011〕
Miró's choice of title was to use French and not Spanish. Miró said that the reference to excrement comes from a saying by Rembrandt who said that when it came to painting, rubies and diamonds were found in dung heaps.〔(A NEW APPROACH TO JOAN MIRÓ ), Joan Miró Foundation, accessed September 2011〕
