About the Artist:
Michael Schofield (1947-) is a contemporary artist who was born in Orlando, Florida before moving to Oakland, California the same year. While in high school, an art teacher recognized his talent in painting and privately tutored him. After a stint of military service, he continued his fine arts education in Nashville, Tennessee. During the summers, he would study with watercolorist John Pike (1911-1979) in Woodstock, New York. Schofield went on to open his own studio where he taught and painted for over a decade. In 1980, he returned to California to establish a silk-screen printing studio, involved in every step and every process of his original serigraphs. His works are a part of many private and corporate collections globally.

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.
