Emblem 1942

"Emblem" is a 1942 etching by André Masson, notable for its abstract, almost biomorphic forms. The piece, with its dark green and white tones, features a central, rounded shape suggestive of a skull or a seed pod. The central shape is enveloped by a radiating pattern, evoking a sense of both vulnerability and hidden strength. Masson, a leading figure in Surrealism, created work that explored subconscious realms, often through automatic techniques and bold, expressive forms.
