Lily MASSON : Paysage surréaliste, 1963 - Collage original signé

Lily Masson : Born in Paris in 1920, Lily Masson lived in an artistic environment during her childhood thanks to her father, the painter André Masson. Before starting to paint in 1960, she made illustrations for children's stories and poems. Encouraged by the painter Angelopoulos, she took a very distinct approach from her artistic circle. Fascinated by various materials, Masson's work is not limited to drawing and painting, she is also interested in watercolor as well as in oil. She also enthusiastically uses collage, for which she uses several materials, such as sand, fabric and even feathers. Strongly inspired by nature as well as by surrealism, Lily Masson's works are imaginative, they are the fabrication of the illusion of reality as well as the result of a thorough research of nature and materials.
