Plants and Animals 1929

Victor Brauner's 1929 surrealist painting "Plants and Animals" is a vibrant example of his unique style. It features abstract forms resembling plants and animals, all rendered in rich, expressive colors and lines. The central black form, reminiscent of a rock or a mountain, is surrounded by vibrant, organic shapes, with a red bird perched on a branch-like structure. The painting evokes a dreamlike, fantastical world, with a strong sense of the grotesque and the surreal, a signature feature of Brauner's work.
