Woman (The Opera Singer) – Joan Miró
Woman (The Opera Singer) is a painting by Joan Miró from 1934: against a warm brown ground stands a tall, playful figure with a parrot-like head, a yellow circle on her chest and green, pink and black shapes. We paint our hand-painted study of Woman (The Opera Singer) to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 60 cm to 130 × 200 cm or in a custom size. Before Woman (The Opera Singer) is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Woman (The Opera Singer) show?
In Woman (The Opera Singer) the singer is built from soft, rounded areas: an open mouth and a large eye on the bird-like head, a raised arm holding a sheet of paper, perhaps music, and little stars in the top corner. Miró drew her in pastel, so the colours are velvety and soft and the edges blurred. Woman (The Opera Singer) is a witty, almost cartoon-like look at a singer in the middle of an aria.
How is our hand-painted study of Woman (The Opera Singer) made?
Our painters paint the study of Woman (The Opera Singer) by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Woman (The Opera Singer) has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Woman (The Opera Singer) is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
