About the Artist:
David Schneuer (1905-1988) was born in Austro-Hungary, raised mostly by his mother after losing his father in World War I. His family moved to Munich, which led him to go to Prussia to learn some practical skills to become a craftsman. He began sign painting in Berlin for six months before enrolling in the Berufsschule to learn finer aspects of art. A photographer named Tim Gidal whom he met in school convinced Schneur to journey to Paris, where he would stay for a year and a half. Schneuer was the kind of artist to rely on his imagination, gleaning from life and experiential observation. Upon his return to Germany in 1927, he began painting theater posters. His designs were balanced, creating stylized and dynamic figures that blurred the lines between illustration, drawing, and advertising. He found his niche in the new city of Tel Aviv, only 25 years old at the time of his introduction. The eclectic atmosphere allowed his art style to thrive. He settled there in 1933, and developed his Expressionist style until his death in 1988.

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.
