Victor Brauner’s The Surrealist builds on the iconography of the tarot – a  deck of cards that has been used for divinatory purposes since the 18th century. As a template he took the card “The Magician,” which symbolizes willpower and creativity. The four attributes of the figure (wand, coins, chalice and dagger) represent the alchemical power over the four elements and indicate that the magician is in possession of the elixir of life and thus also of immortality.
