Roberto Matta Echaurren, known simply as Matta, was a Chilean artist who rose to prominence within the Surrealist movement in the late 1930s. Born in Santiago in 1911, his architectural training profoundly shaped his understanding of space and form. Early encounters with European avant-garde circles and an association with Le Corbusier prepared him for his revolutionary approach to painting. André Breton, Surrealism's progenitor, quickly recognized Matta’s talent, inviting him to join the movement. Matta brought a fresh, dynamic energy, pushing Surrealism's boundaries beyond conventional dreamscapes into a realm he termed 'psychological morphologies' or 'inscapes' – abstract representations of the mind’s internal states and nascent thoughts. His work sought to capture the very genesis of consciousness, the pre-cognitive, chaotic flow of mental energy, establishing him as a crucial figure who bridged Surrealism and the emerging Abstract Expressionist movement. ‘SPACE TRAVEL STAR TRAVEL 1938’ is a pivotal work in Matta’s oeuvre, emblematic of his groundbreaking ‘psychological morphologies.’ Rather than a literal depiction of outer space, this painting explores internal landscapes – the vast, uncharted territories of the human psyche, projected onto an extraterrestrial canvas. The canvas explodes with a vibrant, otherworldly palette dominated by electric blues, fiery oranges, and deep purples, punctuated by stark whites and blacks. These colors clash and coalesce, creating dynamic tension and cosmic energy. Instead of recognizable objects, Matta presents a universe populated by biomorphic forms – organic, amorphous shapes that appear to be simultaneously evolving and decaying, resembling nascent life, geological strata, or fragments of machinery from an unknown civilization. These forms exhibit remarkable transparency and luminosity, as if light emanates from within them, casting an ethereal glow across the scene. The composition is fluid and expansive, drawing the viewer’s eye deep into a boundless, multi-dimensional space, with a palpable sense of movement as forms swirl, expand, and contract in a cosmic dance. Matta’s architectural background is subtly evident in how he constructs these spaces – intricate, overlapping planes and translucent membranes define pockets of light and shadow, suggesting immense depth. The work invites viewers to journey inward, to contemplate thought’s origins and experience the raw, untamed forces of the subconscious. It’s a vision of creation and dissolution, a premonition of distant worlds and nascent realities, all captured with urgent, visceral intensity that defines Matta’s genius. Matta's revolutionary approach in paintings like ‘SPACE TRAVEL STAR TRAVEL’ transcended conventional Surrealism. While deeply rooted in the movement’s exploration of the subconscious, he shifted from André Breton’s emphasis on automatism and dream symbolism towards a more abstract, yet profoundly psychological, expression. His 'inscapes' became a bridge, connecting the figurative distortions of earlier Surrealists with the gestural abstraction that would define Abstract Expressionism in the post-war era. Artists such as Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock later acknowledged Matta’s profound influence on their own development, particularly in his innovative use of color, his creation of indeterminate spaces, and his ability to convey raw psychological states through abstract forms. Matta’s enduring legacy lies in his creation of a new visual language, one that could articulate the complexities of modern existence, the anxieties of the atomic age, and the boundless potential of the human imagination. He painted not just what he saw or dreamed; he painted the very process of seeing and dreaming, the forces shaping reality before they fully materialize. This makes 'SPACE TRAVEL STAR TRAVEL 1938' not just a painting, but a philosophical statement rendered in vibrant hues and dynamic forms, a testament to art’s power to explore the unseen and the unfelt.
