The one-eyed painter and sculptor Victor Brauner in his studio in Montparnasse in the 1950s. He moved to Paris, lived briefly with Yves Tanguy, and painted a number of works featuring distorted human figures with mutilated eyes. Some of these paintings, dated as early as 1931, proved gruesomely prophetic when in 1938 he lost his own eye during a fight with painters Oscar Dominguez and Esteban Frances. http://books0977.tumblr.com/post/129962711807/the-one-eyed-painter-and-sculptor-victor-brauner
