Description from the seller
André Masson (1896-1987)
Erotic Drawings IV
1971
Original lithograph on Arches paper, signed in pencil by the artist, numbered 115/125 and bearing a dry stamp of authenticity “André Masson Véritable”.
This work belongs to the famous suite Erotic Drawings published in 1971, a late period during which André Masson develops a particularly free and organic graphic language, blending erotism, surrealist automatism and metamorphoses of the body.
The composition features a female figure with fluid and sensual lines, integrated into a world of moving shapes typical of Masson’s surrealist aesthetic. The contrast between the large white spaces and the finely hachured areas gives the work great graphic elegance.
Printed by Bellini & Jobin and published by Claude Tchou, this original lithograph was made on Arches paper in a limited edition of only 125 copies.
The work is:
* signed in pencil;
* hand-numbered 115/125;
* embossed with a dry stamp “André Masson Véritable”.
Very good overall condition.
