Andre Masson

Overview

André Masson (4 January 1896 – 28 October 1987) was a seminal French modernist artist who served as a foundational pioneer of the Surrealist movement. Best known for inventing and popularising automatic drawing, Masson attempted to bypass rational consciousness to map the raw imagery of the subconscious mind. His work famously bridged early Cubism with European Surrealism, later serving as a massive catalyst for American Abstract Expressionism
