the eye
Joan Miro, Ciphers and Constellations, in Love with a Woman, 1941. Gouache and terpentine on paper.
It is an innocent eye that does not appear to challenge visual primacy and which stands in contrast to Bataille's summoning of darkness and the usual slashing mutilation of the eye the surrealist tradition.
Is it the eye of the artist as seer?
