Compostion X 1962

"Composition X" is a 1962 print by Chilean surrealist artist Roberto Matta (1911-2002). The print features a complex composition of geometric forms and lines, which appear to be floating in space. The use of sharp angles and a dark grey color palette create a sense of unease and disorientation. Matta was known for his use of abstract imagery to express complex themes like the human psyche and the relationship between humanity and the universe. The circular, pink shapes in the print, reminiscent of planets or celestial bodies, add a mystical dimension to the piece. "Composition X" is an example of Matta's signature style, which is characterized by its biomorphic shapes and surreal imagery, and it offers a glimpse into his exploration of the unseen worlds within and beyond ourselves.
