Victor Brauner

Victor Brauner was a Romanian Surrealist painter and sculptor. He was born in Piatra Neamț, Romania, and studied at the School of Fine Arts in Bucharest before moving to Paris in 1930.

Brauner's art was heavily influenced by his interest in the occult, and his work often featured mystical and dreamlike imagery. He was particularly interested in alchemy and mythology, and his paintings often included references to ancient symbols and esoteric traditions.

During World War II, Brauner was forced to flee Paris and spent time in Marseille and Casablanca before returning to the city in 1945. After the war, he became involved in the French Surrealist movement, and his work was featured in several exhibitions, including the Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme in 1947.

In addition to painting, Brauner also worked as a sculptor, and his sculptures often incorporated found objects and unconventional materials.

Today, Brauner is considered one of the most important figures of the Surrealist movement, and his work continues to be exhibited and studied around the world. His legacy has had a significant impact on the development of modern and contemporary art.
