SynopsisChilean painter Roberto Sebastian Antonio Matta Echaurren, a major figure in the twentieth-century Surrealist movement, was one of the few Latin American artists to achieve international fame. Living an itinerant life in North and South America as well as Europe, Matta established connections with many renowned artists and writers who were his contemporaries. The essays in Matta: Making the Invisible Visible utilize Matta as a microcosmic example that challenges accepted perceptions of Latin American artists and the reception of their work. Five distinguished scholars analyze various aspects of Roberto Matta's life and career. The essay topics include a tracing of Matta's position in the Surrealist and the Abstract Expressionist movements, an exploration of the Latin American Catholic impulse in his work, and an exposition of the connections between Matta's work and the writings of Freud. The volume also features full-color reprints of some of Matta's most brilliant works. Offering intriguing insights into Latin American art and literature, this catalogue is a rich resource on Roberto Matta and twentieth-century modern art.", Chilean painter Roberto Sebastián Antonio Matta Echaurren, a major figure in the twentieth-century Surrealist movement, was one of the few Latin American artists to achieve international fame.
