Which surrealist artist painted 'The Tilled Field'?

The surrealist artist who painted “The Tilled Field” was Joan Miró.

Miró painted the oil-on-canvas work in 1923–1924, drawing on the landscape of his family’s farm near Mont-roig del Camp in Catalonia. Its Catalan title is Terra llaurada, while the French title is La terre labourée.

The painting transforms a recognizable rural scene into a strange symbolic world filled with plants, animals, flags, eyes, and other hybrid forms. It is often regarded as one of Miró’s first major Surrealist works, created around the same period as Catalan Landscape (The Hunter).

A common mix-up is to treat the painting as an entirely abstract composition. Miró instead began with a real place and reshaped its details through imagination, folk imagery, and Surrealist visual logic. The work is now held by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.
