Roberto Matta was attracted to Surrealism’s blending of literature and the visual arts through an exploration of conscious and unconscious states of mind. His work is filled with literary images, and he often referred to his paintings as visual poems. Throughout his life, Matta befriended many Latin American writers and poets such as Pablo Neruda, Gabriela Mistral, and Julio Cortázar, and the titles of his works attest to his poetic proclivities. In 1984, Matta called for solidarity across the Americas, writing, “The American Verb is the recovery of events that are not told in stories… the artists of the different nations of America have broken down borders sooner than the politicians and the military: It is the sign of a continental consciousness.”1 In
