André Masson (1896-1987) - Editions Musée du Montparnasse - Softcover - 160 pages - Texts in French - Published in 2010 A baladin painter, André Masson (1896-1987). Inveterate walker, poetry lover, brilliant and inventive designer.

A city, Paris, which welcomed him in the misery of the 1920s, gradually revealing to him, over the years, the secret of its old stones and its reserved districts. Friends, all poets who accompany him through Paris. Roland Tual, Georges Limbour, Michel Leiris, Antonin Artaud, Joan Miro, André Breton, Louis Aragon, Jacques Prévert, Robert Desnos… This is a new subject, which allows us to follow in the painter's footsteps across the city, over the wanderings as over time. Oils, drawings, lithographs by Masson and numerous documents and photographs of his Paris, from the rue Blomet to the Abattoirs de La Villette via Les Halles. On this occasion, and thanks to an astonishing documentation, are gathered more than 60 works by André Masson, painted between 1921 and 1967
