Roberto Matta (artist)


Chilean-born artist Roberto Matta 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. Matta's long and prolific career was defined by a strong social conscience and an intense exploration of the his internal and external worlds. 

  • Matta broke with the conventions of the Surrealist movement by adding a dimension of social and political awareness to his work.
  • Matta often supplemented an aesthetic of pure abstraction with elements of figuration and precisely rendered, though fantastically conceived, three-dimensional space.
  • Matta's exploration of the unconscious mind through a symbolic language of abstract forms greatly influenced the early development Abstract Expressionism

Throughout a long and fruitful career that spanned six decades and multiple continents, Matta established himself as one of the central figures in the Surrealist movement.

Budapest






One of my favourite cities, you would love it too. Lots of beautiful places to explore, amazing sightseeing, rich of history, friendly culture, yummy food(famous Hungarian spices)... Every little street got her own history and beauty. I've been there couple of times, and always found something new, exciting there. If u want to chill out take a walk along the river Danube, there is plenty of nice little Cafes there, Live music (classical, jazz, blues, or rock&roll...),by the river in the night time you can see the whole City amazingly light up. My advice: get some nice wine (the best quality doesn't cost more then 2Euros, very cheap), listen to some nice violin tunes played by professionals, and chill out. You can get easily inspired. If you like shoping check out the well known Vaci Utca and Andrassy Avenue for designer shops, exclusive gift shops. If you are looking for something cheaper but interesting pop down to the market Nagykorut( Great Boulevard), or the Great Market Hall at the Pest end of Liberty bridge, and in the Castle District. Okay, lets get some history, walk along the Szechenyi Chain Bridge towards the Pest side, up to the Buda Castle (plenty to explore there), heading towards the Margit bridge walk down to Margit Sziget (island), this Island is very green part of Budapest with beautiful parks, fountains, colorful flower seeds, and get some homemade yummy ice cream there. Worth to attend the Sziget (Island) Festival in August, bands from all over the world, lovely Hungarian Rock, busy Nightlife. Worth to check out the Museum of Fine Arts, Heroes Square, National Theatre, and a lot lot more.
I always looking forward to visit this amazing city x)
