Roberto Matta
Continuing on (and becoming famous for) his exploration of the landscape of the subconscious mind, Matta focused on the "spiritual affect of the machinations of war" and used symbolic and/or abstract forms which would eventually influence the development of Abstract Expressionism. Throughout the last half of his life, Matta would come to be expelled from the surrealists and continue different forms of art involving political and spiritual intentions in Rome, Paris, London, and Cuba. He did not like to be thought of as a "Latin American" artist.
