Fishermen

The composition is dominated by the sail, filled by the breeze, describing a grand diagonal that crosses almost the entire canvas, cutting into the deep blue sky with its whiteness. The sky occupies the top two thirds of the painted surface. It takes a leading role, competing with the lower third, which is dedicated to the beach and the sea, culminating in the horizon. There the activity motivated by the arriving boat is focused, enriched by one figure in the foreground to the lower left who approaches the main group. This figure, along with the ocean waves, a boat that stands out on the horizon and some small clouds, are elements that introduce dynamic notes into the composition. The aforementioned solitary figure serves as an outstanding point that completes the spindle form delineated by the sail, provoking a clear contrast with the work's straight lines, especially that marked by the horizon.
In this study the artist has employed a pictorial technique with rough brushstrokes loaded with material that leave their mark, serving to further emphasize the work's forms. This can be particularly noted in the case of the sea, where the movement of the waves is suggested, or in the pasture seen on the coast's terrain. In the sky, these brushstrokes are poised above the sail, marking a fundamental presence in the landscape.
Another outstanding characteristic of this piece is the light. Miró sets out to make its presence an important element in the work, since it serves to highlight forms, but above all in order to create a fresh, colorful atmosphere.
