Compostion VII 1962

"Composition VII," created in 1962 by Chilean Surrealist artist Roberto Matta, is a captivating work of art that showcases his signature style. The etching features abstract forms and biomorphic figures, evoking a dreamlike atmosphere. The composition is dominated by a skeletal-like figure, seemingly caught in a web of intricate lines and swirling shapes, alongside scattered geometric forms and a string of orbs. The artist's signature, the use of line and suggestive form, creates a disorienting and thought-provoking experience, reminiscent of the subconscious. Matta's artworks often explore themes of the unconscious, the human condition, and the complexities of the modern world.
