André MASSON (1896-1987)
Seriously wounded at the Chemin des Dames in 1917, André Masson retained a heightened sensitivity throughout his life. The massacres, blood, death, extreme violence, and the rawness of the bodies would be constants in his work.
Born in 1896, he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels (1908-1912). Coming to Paris (1922), he struggled to survive, meeting Max Jacob, Miró. He joined the Surrealists in 1923, became close to Artaud, Michel Leiris, and André Breton. In 1929, he broke with Breton and approached Georges Bataille, publishing illustrations in the journals “Acéphale” and “La révolution surréaliste.” He left for Spain where he lived from 1934 to 1937, participating in the Civil War against Francoism.
He contributed to the magazine “Minotaure” starting in 1937. Masson went into exile in the United States during World War II. There, he would influence Jackson Pollock enduringly, with whom he formed ties.
His first exhibition was organized in 1928, marking the start of a long list of exhibitions that would lead his work to be hung on the walls of museums around the world. After his death (1987), important retrospectives were organized (Albi, Aix-en-Provence, Paris, Kunstmuseum Bern, etc.).
Masson began his work with a painting considered traditional; he was later influenced by Fauvism and Cézanne. Then came symbolism, which firmly established itself in his art. He produced automatic drawings, surrealist canvases, and a very large body of works on paper (etching, lithography, drawing); he also approached sculpture and illustrated poets.
