Villa Paloma is presenting Victor Brauner: The Magical Adventure, bringing together more than 160 works by the Romanian-born artist, whose fascination with spirituality, esotericism and the occult became central to his distinctive approach to Surrealism. Spanning three floors and tracing his career from the 1920s to 1960, the exhibition includes paintings, drawings and sculptures alongside ten non-European art objects once owned by Brauner, with works from an important private collection being shown together for the first time. The exhibition also explores how Brauner responded to the turbulent politics of the 1930s and 1940s, including the rise of totalitarianism, and runs at Villa Paloma until January 3.
