Surreal Artists - Andre Masson

Andre's early works portrayed interest in Cubism but then he later became associated with surrealism. He created numerous automatic drawings in pen and ink which is the reason in which i feel he relates to my style of animation with the ink and stick method. I like the use of freedom, expression and personality within each frame when using this technique.

'Automatic drawing (distinguished from drawn expression of mediums) was developed by the surrealists, as a means of expressing the subconscious. In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move 'randomly' across the paper.' - Similar to the style of the line drawings looked at towards the beginning of the project.
