Joan Miró's The Farm "an image of cardinal social virtue... the effect of looking down the wrong end of a telescope... an image of nostalgia... for the sights, smells and sounds of [a Catalan] childhood." —Robert Hughes, Barcelona “It has in it all that you feel about Spain when you are there and all that you feel when you are away and cannot go there. No one has been able to paint these two very opposite things.” —Ernest Hemingway who bought the painting from Miró in 1922.
