{"product_id":"victor-brauner-surrealist-hieroglyphs","title":"Victor Brauner: Surrealist Hieroglyphs","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1903 in Romania  Victor Brauner was an active member of the first wave of Romanian avant-garde artists whose concerns anticipated those of Western European Surrealism by 20 years. As such  his paintings are distinguished by their wealth of occult notations and an eclectic use of diverse religious symbolism. Brauners work attests to a unique integration of his Eastern European roots into more flamboyant Western modernism. Despite his many years living in Paris he retained his Romanian identity as evidenced in his choice of titles  his palette  and primarily his choice of imagery  reverting over and over again to his childhood memories and anxieties  to the Balkan landscape  and to the magic and spiritual symbols of his upbringing. This book demonstrates how Brauners work differs from that of his famous Surrealist counterparts  de Chirico  Ernst  and Tanguy for example  extending our idea of Surrealism itself through his use of poetry  both direct and analogical  his highly narrative depictions of personal and social relations  and his extraordinarily colorful palette.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987643068469,"sku":"ByrdShop_3775710884","price":376.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783775710886.jpg?v=1770950483","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/victor-brauner-surrealist-hieroglyphs","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
