Meditation on an Oak Leaf 1942

"Meditation on an Oak Leaf" (1942) by André Masson is an abstract Surrealist painting that embodies the artist's fascination with the subconscious and dreamlike imagery. The canvas is populated with biomorphic forms, intricate lines, and vibrant colors, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The work's title suggests a connection to nature, but its forms and symbols are more suggestive of an internal landscape, reflecting Masson's exploration of the psyche and the irrational. The painting is on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
