Glasses and Architectures (Verres et architectures)
Brooklyn Museum photograph
Object Label
Two goblets arranged within an enigmatic architectural framework anchor this still life, which also features an androgynous torso passing beyond the right edge of the canvas and other fragmented human forms. The year he painted this work, André Masson would join the Surrealists, whose art sought to blur the boundary between dream and reality.
