While Victor Brauner's artistic influences are apparent in his earliest work, there's something original & unique that bursts out & flowers very quickly -- and what bold, mysterious, mesmerizing flowers of art they are! His work is reminiscent of some primal, aboriginal, totemic culture -- both from before the beginnings of history, and from the depths of the Unconscious. Yet it feels so very modern & vibrant, as well: on one hand almost childlike & dreamlike, on the other hand amazingly rich & complex. It's simultaneously quite personal & also quite accessible to all.
The short introductory essays provide biographical & critical background, but it's the art that speaks most eloquently. Printed on heavy, semi-glossy paper that seems suffused with color, each piece offers hours of contemplation & wonder. I'll definitely be returning to these pages many times in the months & years to come -- most highly recommended!
