During his training at the School of Fine Arts in Bucharest, Brauner had in fact developed an expressionist style, which he later abandoned during his involvement with various \u003c\/span\u003eDadaist\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e and Surrealist art publications. It was \u003c\/span\u003eYves Tanguy\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e who formally introduced Brauner to the Surrealists and instigated his involvement with the movement. His practice, which included painting, drawing, and printmaking, drew from disparate symbolic systems like Tarot Cards, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and ancient Mexican texts. Brauner asserted that all of his paintings were autobiographical in some way. He led a turbulent life of constant displacement; anticipating the danger of World War II, Brauner reduced the dimensions of his canvases such that each could fit in his luggage for emergency travel—he called these his “suitcase paintings.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093784318111,"sku":"21523","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Victor_Brauner_Codex_21523a.png?v=1722190335","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/21523-brauner-victor-codex-d-un-visage-1962","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
