Pencil, pastel and crayon on paper - In mint condition // Les cadeaux de la mère Noël et du père Noël by Roberto Matta, created between 1968 and 1969, is a vibrant mixed-media drawing on paper that combines pencil, pastel, and crayon. This work features whimsical and surreal figures, possibly symbolizing the playful and chaotic spirit of holiday festivities, as indicated by its title, which translates to “The Gifts of Mother and Father Christmas.” The composition is characterized by Matta's fluid, overlapping lines and splashes of color, where abstract forms intermingle with hints of human and otherworldly figures. These dynamic, almost dreamlike figures and colors embody Matta’s unique surrealist style, inviting viewers into a fantastical world where meaning and form remain open to interpretation. The delicate strokes and soft hues create a sense of lightness and spontaneity, making this work a festive yet enigmatic piece.
