ANDRE MASSON XXe Siecle no. 38, 1972

First-printing lithograph book plate by André Masson from XXe Siècle No. 38, the influential Paris art publication known for featuring original lithographs by many of the leading artists of the twentieth century.

This vibrant composition reflects Masson’s distinctive surrealist-inspired style, combining expressive line work, fluid forms, and spontaneous color to create an energetic and poetic figure study. The artist’s bold use of red, blue, and green against soft tonal shading demonstrates the freedom and emotional intensity that defined much of his graphic work.

A major figure associated with Surrealism and postwar modernism, Masson explored automatism, mythology, and the subconscious through dynamic compositions that bridged abstraction and figuration. His lithographs for XXe Siècle remain highly collectible examples of pre-digital modern art publishing.

Presented in a white wood frame with a 3-inch acid-free linen-over-cream mat and museum glass, offering an elegant contemporary presentation ready for display.
