The navigator's hope I, Joan Miro, Painting, 1968.
The navigator's hope I is part of a series of paintings by Joan Miró between 1968 and 1973. During this time, Miró renewed his interest in Eastern culture. French art critic Jacques Dupin noted the influence that Japanese art had on Miró because he sees the lines as calligraphic gestures on patches of intense color. According to Dupin, these works show a technique that Miró oft repeated during 1968. Miró’s pictures of that year were largely characterized by colorful graphics on a black or dark background.
