Painted from Nature 1937

"Painted from Nature," created in 1937 by Romanian Surrealist artist Victor Brauner, depicts an artist painting a landscape. The artist's eyes are replaced by paintbrushes, which extend from the canvas and through the artist's face, suggesting a direct and powerful connection between the artist and their work. Brauner's signature Surrealist style is evident in the dreamlike imagery and unsettling juxtaposition of objects, reflecting the subconscious mind's surreal and illogical nature. This painting showcases Brauner's unique exploration of the creative process and the power of art.
