R.P. DEFRESNE “Portrait of a Young Girl” Original Oil on Canvas
Original oil on canvas painting by artist R.P. DeFresne depicts a charming portrait of a young girl against a moody, dramatic background. Little is known about this artist, who has treated this canvas with more modern techniques; alternating wash and impasto brushwork to create delicate blends of color and texture. The softness of the subject is juxtaposed by the almost ominous background scenery, the girl’s ivory clothing contrasting against the darker sky and clouds looming overhead. Housed in a distressed gold frame, this original painting is signed in the left hand corner of the canvas by the painter.

ANDRÉ MASSON (1896-1987) Signed and Numbered Lithograph
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.
