The artwork, titled “Objet subjectivité,” was created by Victor Brauner in the year 1957. This piece belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of symbolic painting.
The artwork presents an abstract, almost cubist representation of a human face. Dominating the composition is a centralized visage that seems to blend into geometric forms. Subtle hues of pastel blue and yellow add a sense of depth and dimension to the otherwise monochromatic palette. The face is rendered with minimalistic but expressive features: small, piercing eyes and a sharply delineated red mouth stand out against the neutral background. The texture of the canvas, with its speckles and patches, evokes a sense of time-worn, ancient parchment. This nuanced interplay between form and color vividly illustrates the symbolic and surreal nature of Brauner’s work, encapsulating the subjective experience suggested by the title.
