Compostion IV 1962

"Composition IV" is a 1962 etching by Chilean-born artist Matta (Roberto Matta Echaurren, 1911-2002). The artwork showcases Matta's signature style of Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist art, characterized by geometric shapes and an emphasis on line and texture. The use of a grid-like structure and swirling lines create a sense of depth and movement, suggesting an architectural or mechanical landscape in a state of flux. The image is rich with detail and evokes an emotional response from viewers due to its dynamic composition and evocative nature.
