Timeline

1903

Victor Brauner (, also spelled Viktor Brauner; 15 June 1903 – 12 March 1966) was a Romanian painter and sculptor of the surrealist movement.

He was born in Piatra Neamț, Romania, the son of a Jewish timber manufacturer who subsequently settled in Vienna with his family for a few years.

It is there that young Victor attended elementary school.

1914

When his family returned to Romania in 1914, he continued his studies at the Lutheran school in Brăila.

His interests revolved around zoology during that period.

1916

He attended the National School of Fine Arts in Bucharest (1916–1918) and Horia Igiroșanu private school of painting.

He visited Fălticeni and Balcic, and started painting landscapes in the manner of Paul Cézanne.

Then, as he testified himself, he went through all the stages: "Dadaist, Abstractionist, Expressionist".

1924

On 26 September 1924, the Mozart Galleries in Bucharest hosted his first personal exhibition.

In that period he met poet Ilarie Voronca, together with whom he founded the 75HP magazine.

It was in this magazine that Brauner published the manifesto The Pictopoetry and the article The Surrationalism.

He painted and exhibited Christ at the Cabaret (in the manner of George Grosz) and The Girl in the Factory (in the manner of Ferdinand Hodler).

He participated to the Contimporanul exhibition in November 1924.

1925

In 1925, he undertook his first journey to Paris, from where he returned in 1927.

1928

In the period 1928–1931 he was a contributor of the unu magazine (an avant-garde periodical with Dadaist and Surrealist tendencies), which published reproductions of most of his paintings and graphic works: "clear drawings and portraits made by Victor Brauner to his friends, poets and writers" (Jaques Lessaigne – Painters I Knew).

1930

In 1930, he settled in Paris, where he met Constantin Brâncuși, who instructed him in methods of art photography.

In that same period he became a friend of the Romanian poet Benjamin Fondane and met Yves Tanguy, who would later introduce him to the circle of the Surrealists.

He lived on Moulin Vert Street, in the same building as Alberto Giacometti and Tanguy.

He painted Self-portrait with enucleated eye, a premonitory theme.

1934

In 1934 André Breton wrote an introduction to the catalogue for Brauner's first Parisian solo exhibition at the Pierre Gallery.

The theme of the eye was omnipresent: Mr. K's power of concentration and The strange case of Mr. K are paintings that Breton compared with Alfred Jarry’s play Ubu Roi, "a huge, caricature-like satire of the bourgeoisie".

1935

In 1935, Brauner returned to Bucharest.

He joined the ranks of the Romanian Communist Party for a short while, without a very firm conviction.

On 7 April 1935, he opened a new personal exhibition at the Mozart Galleries.

Sașa Pană wrote about it in his autobiographical novel, Born in 02:

"The catalogue shows 16 paintings; they are accompanied by verse, surrealist images that are exquisite by their bizarreness – they are perhaps the creations of automatic dictation and they certainly bear no connection to the painting itself. They are written in French, but their colorful taste is kept in their Romanian language translation. The exhibition brought about many interesting articles and takings of position regarding Surrealism in arts and literature."

Another remark about Brauner's participation to Surrealist exhibitions: "Despite its appearance of abstract formula … this trend is a point of transition to the art that is to come" (Dolfi Trost, in Rampa of 14 April 1935).

In Cuvântul liber of 20 April 1935, Miron Radu Paraschivescu wrote in the article Victor Brauner’s exhibition: "In contrast to what one may see, for instance, in the neighboring exhibition halls, Victor Brauner’s painting means integration, an attitude that is a social one, as far as art allows it. For V. Brauner takes attitude through the very character and ideology of his art".

On 27 April, he created the illustrations for Gellu Naum’s poetry collections – The Incendiary Traveler and The Freedom to Sleep on the Forehead.

1938

In 1938, he returned to France.

On 28 August, he lost his left eye in a violent argument between Oscar Domínguez and Esteban Francés.

Brauner attempted to protect Esteban and was hit by a glass thrown by Domínguez: the premonition became true.

That same year, he met Jaqueline Abraham, who was to become his wife.

He created a series of paintings called lycanthropic or sometimes chimeras.

1940

He left Paris during Nazi Germany's invasion of France in 1940, together with Pierre Mabille.

He lived for a while in Perpignan, at Robert Rius', then at Canet-plage, in the Eastern Pyrenees and at Saint-Féliu-d'Amont, where he was forcibly secluded.

However, he kept in touch with the Surrealists who had taken refuge in Marseille.

1941

In 1941, he was granted the permission to settle in Marseille.

Seriously ill, he was hospitalized at the "Paradis" clinic.

1954

He painted Prelude to a civilization in 1954, now in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
