Engraving in Color on Arches Vellum. Published by Editions Pierre Belfond. Suite: Sur Matta. Hand Signed by Matta Numbered. Roberto Matta’s Sur Matta II (1970) is a surreal and dreamlike engraving from the Sur Matta suite, created in a rare limited edition of 150. Executed in soft, ethereal colors on Arches Vellum, the composition features elongated, otherworldly figures interacting within a futuristic, abstract space. Their mechanical, organic forms blend into a surreal landscape dominated by cool blue tones, with intricate details evoking movement and transformation. Matta’s signature fusion of automatism and subconscious imagery is evident, drawing on his background in architecture and his ties to Surrealism. This engraving, published by Editions Pierre Belfond, exemplifies his exploration of psychological landscapes and metaphysical spaces.

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.
