Thanks for this review. I'd never heard of him. Unlike Picabia, Brauner was wound up pretty tight, I'd say. Surrealists were on a mission and, if I recall correctly, could be expelled or at least declared heretical by Breton – like Dali – for selling out. Brauner even painted a not bad portrait of Breton, if you like his hard-edge style.
Thank you for this. This artist was unknown to me. I really liked the self-portrait (1931) and the coincidence regarding the eye. Thanks again
