Unconstructed edition. Unique edition of this retrospective of the early work of the Chilean surrealist painter Roberto Sebastian Matta Echaurren (1911-2002), who settled in France from 1933 at Le Corbusier’s. “Adopted” by Breton, he was a familiar figure among the surrealists until his inevitable expulsion from the group in October 1948. Germana Ferrari, wealthy heiress of an Italian pharmaceutical group, was the painter’s last of five wives: married in 1970 in Cuba, she remained by his side for the last 32 years of his life, dedicating herself to the diffusion of her husband’s works.
