Curt Valentin 1946

This charcoal drawing, "Curt Valentin," by André Masson, was created in 1946. Masson's signature style of automatism is evident in the gestural lines that define the subject's form, creating a sense of movement and energy. This portrait, rendered in shades of gray, suggests a strong presence and a sense of depth. The artist's exploration of the human form and subconscious imagery are hallmarks of his work.
