Roberto Matta (1911-2002), the famous Chilean artist, is mainly remembered for his role as a leading member of Surrealism as well as an inspiration for the later Abstract Expressionist movement. Following his arrival in Paris in 1933, Matta found work in the architecture office of Corbusier, and soon became friendly with figures now regarded as among the most influential and avant-garde figures in the Paris (and international) art world.
