The artwork titled “Paysage,” created by Victor Brauner in 1953, belongs to the art movements of Naïve Art (Primitivism) and Surrealism. It is a landscape genre piece.
The artwork portrays a vibrant and stylized landscape featuring various elements depicted in a naïve and surreal manner. Dominant colors include a combination of warm and cool tones, with prominent areas of yellow, green, and blue. A stylized sun sits in the upper right portion of the artwork, casting its light over a field of yellow. To the left, the landscape transitions into areas featuring a body of water, depicted in blue with simplistic wave patterns, and some buildings, including a house comprised of basic geometric shapes. The bottom right section introduces an abstract tree with red circular motifs and some additional flora. The composition is marked by bold outlines and a playful, unrefined aesthetic characteristic of both Naïve Art and Surrealism. The artist’s initials, “V.B.,” are visible in the lower left corner, and it is dated “23.9.1953” in the lower right.
