Roberto Matta
Chilean · b. 1911
Matta similarly blended Surrealist imagery with architectural and spatial constructions in mixed media works, creating portraits and figures that merge with environmental structures in a dreamlike manner.
Wifredo Lam
Cuban · b. 1902
Lam shared Brauner's Surrealist approach to portraiture by fusing human figures with symbolic and structural elements on canvas, producing hybrid compositions that dissolve boundaries between the figure and its surroundings.
Enrico Donati
Italian American · b. 1909
Donati worked within the Surrealist circle using mixed media techniques on canvas to create layered compositions that merged figuration with abstract architectural and material textures, closely paralleling Brauner's aesthetic sensibility.
