Title: Paintings on masonite
Description: Paintings on masonite is a series of 27 abstract paintings made by Joan Miró using the type of proprietary hardboard known as Masonite, just after the Spanish Civil War started on 18 July 1936. These works break with his earlier phase which was known as his wild paintings period.
