Tomb of Victor and Jacqueline Brauner (née Abraham), Montmartre Cemetery, Paris, France (photo, August 2021). Exquisite in all its strange simplicity and complexity. One haunting detail, easily overlooked, is the left bottom corner of the niche, continuing only 1.5 or 2 centimetres, breaking the symmetry.
Victor Brauner (1903-1966) was a painter working in a number of successive styles, such as cubism, expressionism, Dadaism and surrealism.
The epitaph reads: “Pour moi peindre c’est la vie, la vraie vie: MA VIE”.
