內容簡介
From its beginnings in the 1920s, Andre Masson (1896-1987) was a key figure in the Surrealist art movement. He was a pioneer in the techniques of automatic drawing and biomorphic abstraction. Living in Paris in the twenties, he collaborated with Surrealist poets and theorists including Andre Breton in their quest to subvert reason and investigate the workings of the human subconscious, and he contributed illustrations to many important works of Surrealist literature. He also exhibited in the Galerie Simon, a gathering place for the Parisian avant-garde including Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. His fascination with metamorphosis in all its forms not only informed Surrealist thought, but also provided the fuel for a lifetime of creativity. In these volumes Masson's complex, poetic and psychologically charged works comment on his years in Paris, his struggle against Spanish fascism in the 1930s and his American exile from Nazi-occupied France in the 1940s. Today Masson's prints can be found in collections around the world including the Tate London, MoMA New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, The Albertina in Vienna and the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco.
