SynopsisA monograph dedicated to the work of the Chilean painter, a major figure in the twentieth-century Surrealist movement. The work of Roberto Sebasti n Antonio Matta Echaurren (1911-2002) represents a synthesis of European, American, and Latin American cultures. He was an early mentor to several Abstract Expressionists., Roberto Sebastián Antonio Matta Echaurren (1911-2002) was an international figure whose worldview represented a synthesis of European, American, and Latin American cultures. As a member of the Surrealist movement and an early mentor to several Abstract Expressionists, Matta broke with both groups to pursue a highly personal artistic vision. His mature work blended abstraction, figuration, and multi-dimensional spaces into complex, cosmic landscapes. This monograph traces the life and the work of the artist from the beginning to his most celebrated works; it also includes the interview that, just before his death last year at the age of 91, Roberto Matta gave Tate's contributing editor Hans Ulrich Obrist. Here the former Surrealist discusses ideas ranging from chance, dreams, resistance and a new geometry to Le Corbusier, scroungers and a return to Marx. The book features this last interview.
