Nocturne 1944

"Nocturne," an etching created by Andre Masson in 1944, showcases the artist's signature Surrealist style. The artwork features a distorted, biomorphic figure with a focus on the grotesque and the subconscious, exploring the themes of the night and the unknown. The image is rendered in a dark, brooding palette and the intricate lines and textures contribute to the unsettling atmosphere of the artwork. This small-scale etching is a captivating and poignant example of Masson's artistic mastery, currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
