// Roberto Matta’s Obra gráfica is a vibrant lithograph created in 1979, showcasing his signature surrealist style. The composition is dynamic, filled with expressive and abstract forms that depict musicians playing instruments, including cellos and horns. The bright reds, yellows, and blues are contrasted with scribbled lines and textures, creating a lively and chaotic atmosphere that resonates with the spontaneity and energy of music. The figures, drawn in a semi-transparent, sketch-like manner, intertwine with their instruments, blurring the boundaries between human form and musical expression. This lithograph is part of a limited edition of 15 HC (hors commerce) prints, emphasizing its exclusivity. Measuring 37.5 x 27 cm, the artwork reflects Matta’s exploration of movement, sound, and visual rhythm. The piece captures the essence of improvisation and creativity, essential elements in both music and art.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
