...neck of painting," Miró in the early '30s embarked on the production of oddly haunting "poetic objects," which were meant to suggest the improbable juxtaposition of objects that occurs in dreams. Many of his sculptures remind observers of the combines produced by Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg in the 1950s...
