I André Massons liv
Hela livet1936–1939
Draws the cover and images for “Acéphale”
Masson draws the cover of the first issue of Georges Bataille's review “Acéphale” in 1936 and produces the images for all its issues until 1939.
c. 1940
Escapes the Nazis with Varian Fry's help
The Nazis condemned Masson's work as degenerate; with the assistance of Varian Fry in Marseille he escapes on a ship to the island of Martinique and from there to the United States. On arrival in New York customs officials find a cache of his erotic drawings in his luggage.
1940–1945
Years in the United States: New Preston, Connecticut
Masson lives in New Preston, Connecticut; in exile he influences the development of the New York School and Abstract Expressionism, most notably Jackson Pollock and Arshile Gorky.
