Double Head 1963

"Double Head" is a 1963 work by Romanian surrealist artist Victor Brauner (1903-1966). The work features two stylized heads in profile, each with an enlarged eye and a textured surface, against a dark background. Brauner's Surrealist art often explored themes of the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational, and this work reflects his fascination with the human form and its potential for metamorphosis. The bold outlines and graphic quality of the work are reminiscent of Brauner's later style, which he developed after a near-fatal car accident.
