The composition Still Life with Old shoe suggests the deep reaction Joan Miró made against the fascists of the Spanish Civil War. The Still Life with Old shoe is an explicit image, including old shoes, wine bottles, an apple with a fork inserted into, and a loaf of bread cut open of which one end became a skullcap, all of which was set in an unfathomable space. The colors and the dark and dangerous shapes are abominable. This composition is not a special sign but an expression of agony and repugnance on the event which happened to Miró's beloved Spain. He used objects, colors and shapes to denounce corruption, calamity and death.
