"Painting is life, the real life, my life."
Victor Brauner (1903-1966) was a Jewish Romanian artist, a Surrealist of uncommon charm. Although his images incorporate his anxieties, Brauner created a world that contains humor and kindness, along with its darker counterpoints.

Oh Jane. This IS wonderfully charming. It also captures the day I've had today. Thanks for the smile.
It looks like one of his anxieties might be relationships with women! Ah, but we all have our phobias and bad hair days are mine. Cheers, Jane!
Brauner's work seems not so misogynistic as many of the male surrealists. Her hair is pretty cool, actually. Glad that you both liked the piece.
