“Still a young man, <strong>Matta</strong> is the most profound painter of his<br />
generation.”<br />
Marcel <strong>Duchamp</strong>: <strong>Matta</strong>, in: Collection of the Société Anonyme:<br />
Museum of Modern Art 1920, Yale University Art Gallery, New<br />
Haven 1944, p. 91–92.<br />
“<strong>Duchamp</strong> has found the key whereby to liberate the images from<br />
their common meaning and to represent the object by an image<br />
which is pliable to the mechanism of sight and expands the consciousness.<br />
He has broken the association between the object and<br />
the onlooker, and in breaking down these limitations, frees the<br />
spirit of man.”<br />
Katherine S. Dreier and <strong>Matta</strong> Echaurren: <strong>Duchamp</strong>’s Glass: La<br />
Mariée mise à nu par ses Célibataires, même...: An Analytical Reflection,<br />
in: Entretiens Morphologiques: Notebook N° 1, 1936–1944<br />
[<strong>Matta</strong> Notebooks 1], p. 182–183.<br />
Originally published by Société Anonyme / Museum of Modern Art,<br />
New York 1944.<br />
“<strong>Matta</strong> became the only painter after <strong>Duchamp</strong> to explore wholly<br />
new possibilities in illusionistic space”<br />
William S. Rubin, Curator and Director of the painting and sculpture<br />
department at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from<br />
1968 to 1988.<br />
Dada & Surrealist Art, Abrams, New York 1985
