In "Der Sonnenschlucker" Joan Miró Makes frequent use of geometric figures (though their rough nature almost makes it seem like this is not quite the case. The composition of the man is really quite simple: his head is an oval with circles for eyes and lines for nose and mouth; his body is (more or less) a square filled with a grid creating smaller squares and rectangles. The use of primary colours in a way augments the effect of this geometric simplicity. The use of the rectangle/square grid on the torso of the man almost creates the effect of being confined in a prison. One may note the contrast between seemingly cheery or childish use of primary colours and simple geometric shapes and the generally bleak and haggard appearance of the figure.
