After his return to Spain, Miro closed the door on the turbulent
period of the Spanish Civil War and on World War II, which was
still continuing. His international career began to unfold at his
exhibition in New York in 1941. the exhibition brought his fame to
the United States at the moment when his pictorial vocabulary,
which had been taking shape since the twenties, had matured into a
unique language of his own. In the Constellations, he made the
whole of the painting into a single, unified surface, integrating
the figure with the background. Miro's very personal vocabulary of
symbols was perfected by 1945. His paintings from this period are
especially notable for their treatment of the background. The
color of the background permeated the texture of the surface it is
painted on, turning the field of color itself into a pictorial
structure.
