Roberto Matta’s Des Secrets Pour Changer La Vie, 1978 etching with deep reds, purples, and dynamic shapes, part of the Una temporada en infierno portfolio.

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 Des Secrets Pour Changer La Vie (Secrets to Change Life) is an etching from 1978, featured in the portfolio Una temporada en infierno (A Season in Hell), inspired by Arthur Rimbaud’s poetry. This etching captures Matta’s characteristic surrealist style, filled with rich, dark reds, purples, and vibrant accents that create a dream-like and chaotic atmosphere. The composition is intricate, with swirling lines and abstract forms that seem to float and overlap. Spherical and geometric shapes dominate the scene, interacting with enigmatic symbols and organic patterns, suggesting a complex interplay of cosmic and existential elements. The vivid use of color and the energetic movement throughout the piece convey an intense and transformative mood, resonating with the existential themes of Rimbaud’s work. Printed on Arches paper, each edition is signed and numbered, limited to a run of 100. Published by Editions Georges Visat in Paris, the work measures 67 x 51 cm, illustrating Matta’s ability to translate poetic and philosophical ideas into a visually compelling narrative.
