Matta's 1932-37 art
Matta left his native Chile for Paris in 1933, working in the studio of
architect Le Corbusier for two years. He was introduced to the surrealist artists in Paris and by 1937
began to produce imaginative crayon drawings of other-worldly volcanic landscapes. Gordon Onslow-Ford
encouraged him to try his first oil paintings, titled "Psychological Morphologies", which he
considered "landscapes of the mind".
