Sanata yönelmesi Breton`un teşvikiyle olmuştur. Breton, Matta`ya kendi çalışmalarını özendirterek Paris`in önde giden sürrealist akımının öncülerini tanıttı. Matta sürrealist dergi ``Minotaure`` `de yazılar yazıp resimler çizdi. Bu zaman diliminde Pablo Picasso ve Marcel Duchamp gibi göze çarpan çağdaş Avrupalı sanatçılara tanıştırıldı.
