Description
54 Victor BRAUNER (1903-1966) Landscape, 1953 Oil on canvas Monogrammed and dated 16.X.1953 lower right, dedicated lower left 24 x 33 cm Certificate of authenticity by Samy Kinge dated March 22, 2022. Known for his Surrealist paintings, Brauner was expelled from the group in 1949 for for refusing to join in the dismissal of Matta, accused by André Breton of "intellectual disqualification and moral ignominy". This exclusion left a void and prompted the artist to question himself: Should he use his subconscious to paint? Does the mental reconstruction of reality make sense? Brauner moves towards a purification of his pictorial language and to a simplified, more primitive and archaic style of writing, with a deliberate to children's drawings. The simplicity of our painting is reminiscent of cave frescoes, and we can see that the artist is emerging from his confinement and rediscovering the outside world.
