"The Kill" (1944) by André Masson is an abstract painting that features dynamic, gestural strokes in red, black, and yellow against a pale background. The work is representative of Masson's "automatic" style of painting, which was inspired by Surrealism and emphasizes the unconscious mind. The vibrant, chaotic composition reflects the psychological and emotional turmoil of war, which Masson experienced firsthand during World War I. The work is on view at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
