From the portfolio "Una temporada en infierno" (A season in hell) - Portfolio of 10 works illustrating the poem by Arthur Rimbaud - On Arches paper, numbered and signed by Matta - Printing in Paris in 1978 - Published by Oditions Georges Visat. // Roberto Matta's Damné Par L'Arc En Ciel (Damned by the Rainbow) is a striking etching from 1978, part of the portfolio Una temporada en infierno (A Season in Hell), which draws inspiration from the poetic work of Arthur Rimbaud. This etching exemplifies Matta’s surrealist and abstract style, using a rich palette of reds, greens, and deep earth tones to convey a vivid, dynamic scene. The composition features an array of abstract figures, geometric forms, and swirling lines, creating a sense of movement and depth. Central to the piece is a rectangular, mirror-like shape that reflects Matta's exploration of alternate realities and the metaphysical. The juxtaposition of colors and forms evokes an intense and chaotic atmosphere, aligning with the existential and poetic themes that permeate Rimbaud’s work. Printed on Arches paper, the etching is signed and numbered, limited to an edition of 100. Published by Editions Georges Visat in Paris, the work measures 67 x 51 cm, continuing Matta’s tradition of transforming poetry into visually engaging and thought-provoking imagery.

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.
