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.
