Painting the Unpaintable: Roberto Matta's Visualization of Space-time

#matta #impressionistart #sothebys Roberto Matta’s Prince of Blood (triptych) was not only the painter’s first contribution to Surrealism, it was also the first artistic attempt to visualize Einstein’s theory of space-time. In this episode of Anatomy of an Artwork, discover how Matta was inspired by Marcel Duchamp to create a work that gives visual form to a world in flux and contradictions. The work is a highlight of our upcoming evening sale, Art Impressionniste et Moderne (25 March | Paris). SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/sothebys/?sub....
