Upon settling in Paris in 1930, Victor Brauner established a deep friendship with the artist Yves Tanguy, who introduced him to the Surrealist circle. Three years later, Brauner joined the group with the support of Tanguy, and his 1934 solo show at the Galerie Pierre, for which André Breton wrote the catalogue introduction, solidified his position. Like other Surrealists of the period, such as Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, Brauner was inspired by dreams, the unconscious, and mysticism, as well as diverse religions and ancient mythologies. Such influences are present in the artist’s Turning Point of Thirst, one of the works included in his 1934 exhibition. Of this work, Brauner wrote that “representing this personage in withered tatters expresses unremitting solitude and should pound the senses.”

Pablo Picasso

"Les trois danseuses" (The Three Dancers), painted in 1925, is a major work by Pablo Picasso that belongs to his Surrealist period. The painting depicts three female figures in a dancing pose, but represented in an extremely abstract and distorted manner, typical of Picasso's Cubist style. The bright colours and angular shapes create an impression of intense movement and dynamism. This work is interpreted as a complex exploration of passion, desire and jealousy, recurring themes in Picasso's work. The arrangement of the figures and the bold use of colour and form break with traditional conventions, offering a more emotional and psychological view of reality. "The Three Dancers is considered a powerful illustration of Picasso's creative genius, fusing Cubism and Surrealism to express the depths of human experience.
