"We are living through a terrible drama," Miró wrote in January 1937. "Everything happening in Spain is terrifying in a way you could never imagine."
On January 24, 1937 the Catalan artist Joan Miró, prevented by civil war from returning to his homeland, set up in the gallery of his Paris dealer,
Pierre Loeb, a still life on which he worked every day for a month. The painting was finished in his studio on May 29 of that difficult year.
It consists of an apple, into which a lethal, six-tined fork has been stuck; a gin bottle shrouded in torn newspaper, secured with a thong; a heel of bread;
and a left shoe, its lace untied. The apple is brown, so perhaps rotten; the bread is dried; the shoe, we learn from the title "Still Life with Old Shoe", is worn.
