- Lot Description
Andre Masson (French, 1896-1987), "Evening on the Seine" from book entitled, "Regards sur Paris", published in 1960, a lithograph in colors on heavy gauge paper. From a loose portfolio with a limited edition of 30 signed copies by various artists and 180 unsigned versions. A vibrant lithograph by one of the pioneers of the Surrealist movement depicts Paris at night. The black background upon pink paper really makes Masson's select use of colors - brilliant reds, yellows, and greens - pop in the composition. Who doesn't adore Paris at night? Size: 23.625" W x 15.375" H (60 cm x 39.1 cm)
Andre Masson, like others of his generation, saw combat during World War I. Upon being seriously wounded, Masson became dissillusioned with the world, rejected a life of reason, and pursued the irrational realm in his art. Mason joined the Surrealists in 1922. At the time, he was sharing a studio with modernist Joan Miro (Spanish, 1893-1983). By 1929, Mason departed from the group,finding Andre Breton's dominating leadership a bit too overbearing. As one can see in this composition, Mason was passionate about automatic drawing; however, his technique still demonstrated solid control of his materials. Masson's works may be found in many important collections of Modern Art including the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City as well as the Centres Pompidou in Paris; his works have been exhibited at major museums and important galleries all over the world.
