“Furious Suns,” created by artist Andre Masson in 1925, is an abstract piece executed in ink on paper. Measuring 42.2 x 31.8 cm, the artwork falls under the Automatic Painting movement, a genre of Surrealism. It is currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork features intricate ink strokes that form a complex and dynamic composition. The lines are fluid and appear spontaneously drawn, characteristic of the Automatic Painting technique. The abstract shapes and forms create a sense of movement, making the piece feel alive and animated. The composition, though devoid of color, conveys depth and intensity through the varying thickness and direction of the lines. The title, “Furious Suns,” evokes a sense of passion and energy, which is reflected in the vigorous and expressive strokes that dominate the piece.
