His early works display an interest in cubism. He later became associated with surrealism, and he was one of the most enthusiastic employers of automatic drawing, making a number of automatic works in pen and ink. Masson would often force himself to work under strict conditions, for example, after long periods of time without food or sleep, or under the influence of drugs. He believed forcing himself into a reduced state of consciousness would help his art be free from rational control, and hence get closer to the workings of his subconscious mind.[citation needed] Masson experimented with altered states of consciousness with artists such as Antonin Artaud, Michel Leiris, Joan Miró, Georges Bataille, Jean Dubuffet, and Georges Malkine, who were neighbors of his studio in Paris. From around 1926 he experimented by throwing sand and glue onto canvas and making oil paintings based around the shapes that formed. By the end of the 1920s, however, he was finding automatic drawing rather restricting, and he left the surrealist movement and turned instead to a more structured style, often producing works with a violent or erotic theme, and making a number of paintings in reaction to the Spanish Civil War (he associated once more with the surrealists at the end of the 1930s). Under the German occupation of France during World War II, his work was condemned by the Nazis as degenerate. With the assistance of Varian Fry in Marseille, Masson escaped the Nazi regime on a ship to the French island of Martinique from where he went on to the United States. Upon arrival in New York City, U.S. customs officials inspecting Masson's luggage found a cache of his erotic drawings. Denouncing them as pornographic, they ripped them up before the artist's eyes.[citation needed] Living in New Preston, Connecticut his work became an important influence on American abstract expressionists, such as Jackson Pollock. Following the war, he returned to France and settled in Aix-en-Provence where he painted a number of landscapes. Masson drew the cover of the first issue of Georges Bataille's review, Acéphale, in 1936, and participated in all its issues until 1939. His brother-in-law, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan...

Soft Blue Discs Acrylic/polymer on masonite, 1976 Signed by the artist in pencil lower right: LD Cantine (see photo) Signed, titled, dated verso (see photo) Canadian painter Cantine has spent his career exploring the role of color in painterly image construction Condition: Excellent Painting size: 12 x 15 inches Provenance: Kraushaar Galleries (lebl, see photo) "David Cantine (born 1939) is a Canadian painter, best known for consistently painting pictures using the same composition for the last forty years of his career. Cantine was born in Jackson, Michigan, and went to school at the University of Iowa, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1962, and a Master of Arts degree in 1964. In 1965 he began teaching drawing and painting at the University of Alberta, until retiring from his position in 1996. Cantine's work in the beginning of his career was figurative art, but he began to experiment with abstraction in the 1970s, and in 1975 became inspired by a photograph of a pair of apples casting round shadows. This compositional structure became the basis for the minimalist, post-painterly abstraction David Cantine is best known for. David Cantine's paintings are in a number of collections, including the Art Gallery of Alberta, the University of Alberta, the Christopher Cutts Gallery, the Francis Winspear Centre for Music, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and the Masur Museum of Art." Courtesy Wikipedia "David Cantine’s highly recognizable compositions of coloured circles below Plexiglas have been the painter’s primary pursuit for 45 years of his impressive painting career spanning almost six decades. What originally began as a still-life of apples and their shadows evolved into the present abstract imagery of four circles and seven colours. Motivated by the use of “structural colour instead of descriptive colour,” David Cantine continues to explore variations on this minimalist theme. Since the early 2000s, he has also explored a more painterly form of colourful abstracted still-life, with echoes of inspiration from Giorgio Morandi. Born in Jackson, Michigan, Cantine received his Master of Arts degree from the University of Iowa before permanently relocating to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He taught Drawing at the University of Alberta for over thirty years and has been featured multiple times at the Art Gallery of Alberta, in the Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art, and most recently in Soak, Stripe, Splatter. His work has been exhibited in 24 solo exhibitions and 37 group shows and can also be found in the following collections: Masur Museum, Louisiana; Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Ontario; Art Gallery of Alberta; University of Alberta FAB Gallery; Simons; Alberta Art Foundation; Hewlett-Packard; The Sims...
