Victor Brauner was a Romanian sculptor and painter of surrealistic images. Upon settling in Paris in 1930, Victor Brauner established a deep friendship with the artist Yves Tanguy, who introduced him to the Surrealist circle. Three years later, Brauner joined the group with the support of Tanguy, and his 1934 solo show at the Galerie Pierre, for which André Breton wrote the catalogue introduction, solidified his position. Like other Surrealists of the period, such as Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, Brauner was inspired by dreams, the unconscious, and mysticism, as well as diverse religions and ancient mythologies.

This here is Brauner’s most famous surrealist sculpture, and the one which he chose to adorn his tombstone in Paris’ Montmartre Cemetery, where you can see it today.
