Book excerpt: This richly documented book examines the attempts of the French Surrealist artist Andr� Masson (1896-1987) to define "self” in his art in the period between the early 1920s and 1940, the most fruitful period of classic Surrealism, culminating in the emergence of existentialism. Through a close reading of Masson’s paintings, drawings, and writings, Clark Poling explores the ways in which the artist figured the self--as fragmented, dissolved, merged with other selves and with the natural environment, and, ultimately, reconstituted and consolidated. Masson’s work, Poling argues, reveals his involvement with modern conceptions of the self that he absorbed from Nietzsche and the Surrealist writers, as well as from other sources in philosophy, psychology, psychoanalysis and ethnography. He traces Masson’s articulation of these ideas in paintings and graphic works, using his correspondence from the Surrealist period and his many subsequent writings as supporting evidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Andre Masson (1896-1987) was one of the major early French Surrealist painters. A close friend of Andre Breton, Joan Miro, and Max Ernst, he joined the Surrealist movement in the early 20s, then disassociated with it in the early 30s, focusing instead on the human condition - the fundamental impulses of love and hatred - and reacting to the Spanish Civil War. In the early 40s, Masson moved to America and became interested in mythical imagery. Many of his paintings from this period show a focus on African American and Native American myths, and the style of his expression and brushwork influenced many young American painters." "This survey presents the full range of Masson's work, from his Surrealist period to the later, more mythical subjects. Dawn Ades's text provides an authoritative and thoughtful introduction to the ideas behind Masson's work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An interrogation of the notion of space in Surrealist theory and philosophy, this study analyzes the manifestations of space in the paintings and writings done in the framework of the Surrealist Movement. Haim Finkelstein introduces the 'screen' as an important spatial paradigm that clarifies and extends the understanding of Surrealism as it unfolds in the 1920s, exploring the screen and layered depth as fundamental structuring principles associated with the representation of the mental space and of the internal processes that eventually came to be linked with the Surrealist concept of psychic automatism. Extending the discussion of the concepts at stake for Surrealist visual art into the context of film, literature and criticism, this study sheds new light on the way 'film thinking' permeates Surrealist thought and aesthetics. In early chapters, Finkelstein looks at the concept of the screen as emblematic of a strand of spatial apprehension that informs the work of young writers in the 1920s, such as Robert Desnos and Louis Aragon. He goes on to explore the way the spatial character of the serial films of Louis Feuillade intimated to the Surrealists a related mode of vision, associated with perception of the mystery and the Marvelous lurking behind the surfaces of quotidian reality. The dialectics informing Surrealist thought with regard to the surfaces of the real (with walls, doors and windows as controlling images), are shown to be at the basis of Andr?reton's notion of the picture as a window. Contrary to the traditional sense of this metaphor, Breton's 'window' is informed by the screen paradigm, with its surface serving as a locus of a dialectics of transparency and opacity, permeability and reflectivity. The main aesthetic and conceptual issues that come up in the consideration of Breton's window metaphor lay the groundwork for an analysis of the work of Giorgio de Chirico, Ren?agritte, Max Ernst, Andr?asson, and Joan Mir?he concluding chapter consi

Book excerpt: André Masson Eine Mythologie der Natur erscheint begleitend zur Ausstellung im Museum Würth, Künzelsau vom 18. September 2004 bis 30. Januar 2005 André Masson (1896-1987), französischer Maler und Grafiker, studierte in Brüssel und Paris und wurde zu einem der Hauptvertreter des Surrealismus. Er nahm beachtlichem Einfluss auf eine nachrückende Künstlergeneration in den USA. Ursprünglich vom Kubismus beeinflusst öffnete sich ihm durch den Surrealismus der Zugang zu den psychologischen Quellen der Kunst, deren Tiefe er mit Hilfe des Auto-matismus auszuloten suchte. Eine wesentliche Inspiration nahm er aus der Natur, die er in eigenen, faszinierend gesteigerten mythologischen Metaphern ausdrückte. Das Museum Würth beleuchtet erstmalig diesen Aspekt seines Werkes anhand zahlrei-cher Gemälde und des bislang noch nie präsentierten Zeichenzyklus' "Sur le thème du désir". Der begleitende Katalogband ist reich an Abbildungen und umfasst Beiträge, die Thema und Werk Massons aufschlussreich analysieren.
