Was André Masson a Surrealist?

1 Answer
Was André Masson a Surrealist?
Yes, André Masson was a Surrealist. After World War I, Masson moved to the south of France, where he met Juan Gris, André Derain, Joan Miró and André Breton. Masson was part of the group exhibition of the first Surrealists. An iconoclast whose abrupt stylistic transitions defy classification, Masson also explored automatism, a process of automatic drawing that sought to express the creative force of the unconscious.
