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 Plusieurs Autres Vies (Several Other Lives) is an etching from 1978, included in the portfolio Una temporada en infierno (A Season in Hell), inspired by the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud. This piece embodies Matta's signature surrealist style, blending abstract forms with expressive colors and swirling lines. Dominated by deep red tones, the composition features dynamic shapes and intricate lines that intersect with enigmatic figures and geometric structures, creating a sense of depth and motion. The scattered triangular elements in the upper portion evoke a festive yet chaotic atmosphere, while the central focus on a mirror-like form reflects Matta’s exploration of alternate realities and existential themes. Printed on Arches paper, the work is part of a limited edition of 100, signed and numbered by the artist. Published by Editions Georges Visat in Paris, this etching measures 67 x 51 cm and continues Matta’s tradition of merging poetry with visual art, transforming philosophical ideas into a vivid, dynamic imagery.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
