A Star Caresses The Breasts Of A Negro Woman/ Negress 1938 by Joan Miro PrintUne Étoile caresse le sein d'une négresse (peinture-poème)Miró’s painting-poems combine painted and written elements. This work was built around the first line of an erotic poem, balancing words and signs. The two touching triangles represent a woman in Miró’s language of signs, and the bulbous outline with hairs relates to his usual sign for the female sex. The star appears only as a word, although the ladder alludes to the desire to reach for the stars. This exemplifies Miró’s ability to combine simple imagery with ancient symbolism and make contact with deeply held instincts
