Victor BRAUNER.
[Le Petit Taraph.] 1943. Original wax and paint on board, signed and dated lower right (23.5 x 14.2 cm). Enigmatic original wax signed by Victor Brauner. Explaining the wax technique as developed by Victor Brauner, Didier Semin notes that "he gives a skin to painting, and this skin is made of a material that its sensitive qualities lead to figure as an emblem of matter both in Descartes [....] as well as in esoteric practices where it willingly serves to shape figurines that may or may not be pierced - many small works in wax, Taraphs or talismans, are gifts of friendship, viatics distributed to companions in misfortune." We thank Samy Kinge who kindly confirmed the authenticity of this work. (Didier Semin, Victor Brauner, 1990, p. 116 and reproduction page 115.)
