A black glazed pottery ceramic sculptural planter in the manner of Andre Masson. The planter is made in a shape of a cat, engraved with detailed patterns, mounted on four figural legs. Inscribed, Andre Masson, on the bottom. Andre Masson was a French artist whose work has been cited as the bridge between Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. He was a noted proponent of automatic art, in which the hand is allowed to move freely across the canvas without a conscious plan in order to uncover thoughts and images from the subconscious mind.
