The last days to visit the exhibition 'Victor Brauner: Between the Oniric and the Occult' are April 29-30, 2024

The National Art Museum of Romania invites the public to enjoy the last days of the exhibition "Victor Brauner: Between the Oniric and the Occult" which can still be visited on the ground floor of the National Gallery. As an exception, on Monday, April 29th, and Tuesday, April 30th, 2024, the exhibition will be open from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. On each of these two days, a free guided tour supported by the curator of the exhibition, Călin-Alexiu Stegerean, General Director of the NMAR, will take place starting from 4:00 PM.

This is a unique opportunity to discover, on the walls of the National Art Museum of Romania, works by Victor Brauner belonging to important collections from Romania and France. The presence in Bucharest of key creations from the oeuvre of the great Romanian surrealist, such as "Palladista" and "Self-portrait with the Eye Removed" from the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, "The Strange Case of Mr. K." from the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Saint-Étienne, or "Meeting with Myself at the Four Cats of the World" from the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg, is due to an exceptional organizational effort.

The exhibition presents, through more than one hundred exhibits, the initial sources of the artist's creation, coming from popular spirituality and from his sensitivity for the occult and esoteric practices, as well as the evolution of his artistic means towards a surrealist aesthetic which, through Victor Brauner, has known new dimensions of manifestation on the coordinates of the oneiric and occult.

The organisation of such an exhibition at the National Art Museum of Romania, located in the heart of the capital, is a tribute to the artist who, in Bucharest, during the interwar period, was one of the most prominent protagonists of the avant-garde movement in Romania.
