In collaboration with the Paris Museum of Modern Art, the Barnes Foundation presents the exhibition “
The strange case of Victor Browner". The exposition is one of the first major American retrospectives on the influential surrealist.
Victor Browner (1903–1966), born in a small town in Romania and working in Paris, played a key role in surrealistic circles, creating a variety of fairy-tale images throughout his career. Pictures of characters, including figures with extra extremities and eyes, inhabit his paintings, while his sculptural forms blur the boundaries between animate and inanimate objects.
