3 - BRAUER ARIK (1929–2021) UNTITLED (LATE 1940s). Oil on pressed cardboard. 26.50 x 40 cm. On the reverse: signature. We thank Timna Brauer, director of the Arik Brauer Museum in Vienna, for confirming the authenticity of the work.PROVENANCE: Private collection, Turin. In this work, Arik Brauer fully expresses the visionary language that made him one of the leading exponents of the Viennese School of Fantastic Realism. The scene unfolds like a narrative suspended between reality and imagination, populated by a symbolic figure, surreal compositions, and meticulous details that invite the viewer to a slow and contemplative viewing experience.The luminous color does not serve a purely descriptive function but contributes to the construction of a narrative universe rich in moral, spiritual, and existential meanings.As in many of Brauer’s works, the theme of the journey—understood both as an inner experience and as a metaphor for the human condition—emerges powerfully, accompanied by references to memory, history, and the dreamlike realm.
