Roberto Matta

Matta adıyla bilinen Roberto Sebastián Antonio Matta Echaurren (11 Kasım 1911, Santiago - 23 Kasım 2002; Civitavecchia, İtalya) Şili'nin en ünlü ressamlarından biridir. Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Papa'ya Ait Katolik Şili Üniversitesi)'de mimarlık okudu ama mesleğinde hayâl kırıklığına uğradı ve 1933'te Paris'e gitti. Yolculukları René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, André Breton, ve Le Corbusier gibi sanatçılarla tanışmasına aracılık etti.

Sanata yönelmesi Breton'un teşvikiyle olmuştur. Breton, Matta'ya kendi çalışmalarını özendirterek Paris'in önde giden sürrealist akımının öncülerini tanıttı. Matta sürrealist dergi Minotaure 'de yazılar yazıp resimler çizdi. Bu zaman diliminde Pablo Picasso ve Marcel Duchamp gibi göze çarpan çağdaş Avrupalı sanatçılara tanıştırıldı.
