Originally published in the February 1966 edition of the French art magazine Derrière le Miroir, this original lithograph by American artist Alexander Calder (1898-1976) depicts a postmodern composition of gridded lines highlighted with isolated fields of yellow, red, and blue. Akin to the style of Piet Mondrian, Calder’s lithograph details his signature usage of line and primary color, with this particular lithograph being printed in conjunction with an exhibition of Calder’s work being shown in Paris at the time. Housed in a black frame with gold accents, this original lithograph is unsigned, but includes a Certificate of Authenticity affixed to the back of the frame.

An original signed and numbered lithograph by famed French artist André Masson (1896-1987) reminiscent of Masson’s works in automatic drawing. Featuring graphic marks on a vivid ground of red, blue, yellow, and green, Masson’s surrealistic mark-making invites viewers to investigate the image and form their own meaning within the piece. Framed in silver and signed and numbered at the bottom.
About the Artist: André Masson(1896-1987) was born in Balagny-sur-Thérain, Oise and began to study art at the age of 11 at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, later moving his studies to Paris. Masson’s early work displayed an interest in Cubism, but he later became more closely associated with Surrealism, becoming more of the more enthusiastic advocates of automatic drawing; a practice in which the hand is allowed to move randomly across the paper or canvas. Under the German occupation of France, Masson was labeled a degenerate artist by the Nazi regime and he later moved away from Surrealism, adopting a more structured style with themes of eroticism and violence. After escaping France to America, Masson’s work became an important influence on burgeoning Abstract Expressionists, such as Jackson Pollock, as he worked in Connecticut. Following the war, he returned to France and continued to paint until his death in 1987 at the age of 91.
