Andre Masson the well known Surrelalist was a master at "automatic writing" and printmaking, graphics and as a painter. Masson knew the other surrealists and was part of the Surrealist Movement along with Breton, Dali and others. Here is an example of an original lithogrpah hand signed by Masson in 1967

Atalante is a brilliant work of art with vibrant colors which represent the flavors of the Mediterranean. The word comes from the Ancient Greek "Atalanta" who is a character within Greek mythology.

The word has strong connotations with the sea.

It is a name for basin of the coast of Crete, and also the name of an island.

Here we have a front row seat to Masson's automatic drawing,

we can almost see how his hands would've moved as he composed this work.

At this time in his career Masson was working immensely with lithographs. He was well regarded in terms of his ability to produce prints. This is one of his fascinating examples of his artistry.
