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.
