Th. Brauner, the younger brother of the romanian surrealist painter Victor Brauner and member of the dadaist group Alge, explains how solarfixes are made: “First a very personal preparation of negatives over sheets of paper of different transparencies, then interference through the intermediary materials causing mutations among them.”

“Solarfixes” are abstract photographs of painterly beauty made without camera or darkroom, with color added through unknown chemical recipes and processes. Brauner worked toward his radical method gradually.

In the 1920s, artists such as Victor Brauner (1903-1966), Marcel Iancu (1895-1984), and Max Herman Maxy (1895-1971) astonished the public with their fearless experimentalism. Surrealist, abstract, and expressionistic works, picto-poetry, and personal variations on Constructivism – nothing was too radical for them.
