Edition The general edition, like the one pictured, typically consists of around 3,000 unsigned copies on smooth vellum paper. A separate, smaller edition of 75 copies was also produced, which was pencil-signed and numbered by the artist.
The artwork is a prime example of Masson's abstract style and use of "automatic drawing," a Surrealist technique involving spontaneous, unplanned lines to express the unconscious mind. |
