Guitar and Profile 1924

André Masson's "Guitar and Profile" (1924) is an abstract drawing that exemplifies the artist's exploration of Surrealism. The composition, dominated by a single, stylized guitar form, features fragmented geometric shapes, layered in a seemingly chaotic manner. Masson employs a muted palette of grays and browns, suggesting a sense of mystery and unease. The delicate lines and subtle shading contribute to the drawing's dreamlike quality, echoing the surrealist movement's emphasis on the subconscious mind and the exploration of the irrational. This artwork is a testament to Masson's unique ability to capture the fluidity and instability of the unconscious.
