André Masson : Une Mythologie De L'être Et De La Nature

Exhibition at the Musée d'art moderne, Céret, 2019

After the First World War, André Masson came to Céret to rebuild himself through painting. He was advised by a doctor never to live in a city again, and throughout his life he maintained a powerful relationship with nature and the mythology of ancient Greece. His research into pictorial automatism as an early surrealist led him to the gesturality that was to make a fortune in the United States with abstract expressionism.
