“The Last Trip” by Victor Brauner 1937. Born in Romania, Victor Brauner was a significant player in the art world in the early 20th century publishing the avant-garde magazine 75HP in Bucharest in 1924 when he was 21.

Brauner returned to Paris in 1938 where he would experience an incident thought by some to have been foreseen by the artist for several years.
