L'animal Manuel 1943

Victor Brauner's 1943 Surrealist work *L'animal Manuel* is a haunting depiction of a figure with a fish tail, holding the hair of a woman who is being swallowed by a monstrous fish-like creature. The simplified forms and vibrant colors are characteristic of Brauner's artistic style, often inspired by the surrealist movement and his exploration of dreams and the subconscious. This work is a striking example of Brauner's unique blend of figurative elements and fantastical imagery.
