Roberto Matta's "Being With" (1946) isn’t merely a painting; it’s an immersion into the fractured, dreamlike landscape of the subconscious. Painted during his formative years in New York City – a period deeply influenced by the anxieties and transformations following World War II – this monumental canvas pulsates with a potent blend of Surrealist imagery, architectural distortion, and unsettling human forms. Matta, a Chilean artist who navigated the currents of European avant-garde movements before establishing himself as a key figure in American Abstract Expressionism, crafted a work that speaks directly to the societal unease of the time, reflecting on the very act of “being” within a world grappling with profound change.
The painting’s immediate impact is one of overwhelming complexity and disorientation. A dense, labyrinthine structure dominates the composition – a chaotic assemblage of towering buildings, bridges, and fragmented walls that seem to both contain and simultaneously repel the viewer. These aren't recognizable architectural forms; rather, they are warped, elongated, and interwoven in a manner reminiscent of Escher’s impossible geometries. Matta masterfully employs perspective to create an illusion of depth, drawing us into this claustrophobic world where scale is distorted and spatial relationships defy logic. The yellow wall serves as a stark backdrop, amplifying the sense of unease and highlighting the figures within.
The humanoid figures scattered throughout the scene are rendered in a deliberately ambiguous style – often partially obscured, contorted, or engaged in unsettling, almost ritualistic interactions. These aren’t portraits; they represent archetypal anxieties about human connection, isolation, and perhaps even the loss of identity within a rapidly changing world. Their positions suggest a struggle for agency amidst this overwhelming architectural maze.
Matta’s work during the mid-to-late 1940s, collectively known as "social morphologies," represents a significant shift in his artistic approach. He moved beyond purely personal explorations of the subconscious to address broader societal concerns – specifically, the psychological impact of war and the anxieties surrounding the rise of modernity. “Being With” embodies this shift perfectly; it’s not just a dreamscape but a visual metaphor for the collective trauma experienced by humanity after World War II. His engagement with Surrealism provided him with the tools to express these complex emotions through symbolic imagery and distorted forms, while his architectural background informed the painting's intricate structure.
“Being With” is profoundly unsettling yet undeniably captivating. It evokes a sense of claustrophobia, disorientation, and perhaps even dread – mirroring the psychological state of a world reeling from conflict and uncertainty. However, amidst this darkness, there’s also a strange beauty in the painting's complexity and its exploration of the human condition. The vibrant colors, combined with Matta’s masterful use of line and texture, create a dynamic visual experience that invites repeated contemplation. It’s a work that lingers in the mind long after it has been viewed, prompting viewers to confront their own anxieties about existence and the nature of reality. Reproductions capture only a fraction of this powerful emotional depth.
