    "12 a.m." plate V from the suite "L'Arc Obscure des Heures", suite of ten with title page, text by Heraclite and justification
    etchings with aquatint printed in colors on Arches paper,, 1975, signed in pencil by the artist, numbered 78/125 (aside from the hors commerce Roman Numeral edition of 33), as printed by Georges Visat; published by Multiplicata, S.A.

  • Condition:In very good condition.
  • Sheet: 24 3/4 by 35 3/4 in.
  • References: Recorded and illustrated in the standard text on the original prints of Matta by Ferrari, No. 109.
  • Framing: Sold unframed
  • Note: These large landscapes revisit the familar and memorable surrealistic landscapes of the artist with a twist. Each of the ten prints from this series are illuminated with the natural light at the time of day noted in the title. Similar to Monet's "Haystack" and "Cathedral" studies, the landscapes are strikingly beautiful in these light studies.
