Portrait of André Breton 1934

Victor Brauner's 1934 *Portrait of André Breton* is a striking example of modernist portraiture. Painted in a simplified, almost geometric style, the portrait features a stark contrast between the white face of its subject, the French poet and writer André Breton, and the vibrant green background. Brauner was a prominent Surrealist artist, and the painting reflects the movement's interest in exploring the subconscious and challenging traditional artistic conventions. The painting is currently housed at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
