The Study Of Primitivism In Juan Miro’s Paintings

"Primitivism" was originated from the French word "na(?)visme" in the19 th century,also known as "naive art".It refers to a simple and natural creative tendency which pursues spiritual freedom,focusing on breaking rationality and expressing the original nature and feelings of human beings.The word has common grounds with surrealism which pursuits instinct and primitive freedom in terms of form and conception.This thesis explores the primitivism in the paintings of Joan Miro,the representative painter of surrealism,and analyzes the source of primitivism,its primitive external form and primitive internal concept as well as the inspirations it brings to contemporary art.By sorting out his works,this thesis generates his artistic style that combines surrealism and primitivism.The paper is divided into four parts.The first part starts with the source of inspiration from Miro’s primitive elements and analyzes the reasons for the formation of his primitivism art style.The second part analyzes the characteristics of external primitive forms,including primitive biological images,scene settings and object combinations in Miro’s works,highlighting the features of the primitive imagery and symbolic picture language.The third part further sublimates and explores the primitivism concept in Miro’s works,from the conformity to primitive functions to the expression of primitive emotions so that to highlight his primitive spirituality.The fourth part analyzes and summarizes in the form of methodology the formal and emotional inspirations brought by his primitivism art in contemporary art creation.it explores the application of primitivism in Miro’s paintings from external phenomenon to internal essence so that to establish the connection between primitivism and surrealism and systematically demonstrate the primitivism in Miro’s paintings.
