Space Travel Star Travel 1938 — Fine Art

Space Travel Star Travel 1938 shows a figure moving through painted space, with shapes that seem to open and shift. The work belongs to the mid century abstract period. Roberto Matta painted in a surrealist way, with forms that do not settle in one place.

This fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel. The surface is matte, so the painted marks read without shine when light hits the wall. You see the drawn lines and the open space as they were set on paper.

In a narrow bedroom, the moving shapes draw the eye along the wall near the bed. From the doorway you notice the odd forms first, then the small pencil lines when you stand close.
