The great contribution of André Masson to Surrealism remains the invention of automatic drawing, a transpositioon of Breton's automatic writing. During the automatic drawing sessions, Masson lets his unconscious take charge and guide his hand. In the resulting compositions, at the limit of abstraction, Masson sees figures appear.
This work can be compared to the canvas Le Faucheur, n° 1930*16 of the Catalogue raisonné de l’oeuvre peinte d’André Masson.
