Fleurs 1955

Victor Brauner made "Fleurs" in 1955, and it looks like he used watercolor or gouache on paper. The way he laid down these vibrant hues feels intuitive, like he’s letting the colors lead the way. I love the way Brauner handles the materiality of the paint. It's thin and transparent, but there's a real boldness in his strokes. Look at those leaves – some are solid, some are like quick flicks of the brush. It’s like he’s capturing the essence of a flower, not just its appearance. It’s not about precision, it’s about feeling. The way he's arranged these flowers feels almost like a playful dance. There is something very Klee-like in the execution, but somehow wilder and more untamed. I can feel the back-and-forth, the give-and-take, like the art is an ongoing conversation. And that’s what keeps it alive for me, the sense that it's always in motion.
