Wifredo Lam

Centre Pompidou, Paris

NOW CLOSED

Wifredo Lam is known for his mutually fruitful, intellectual and creative friendship with Pablo Picasso. With his Cuban upbringing, and Chinese as well as Afro-Caribbean roots, Lam developed a unique painting style. Having traveled the world extensively and living in Havana, Madrid, Paris and Albissola, Lam’s work synthesized the influence of European modernist avant-garde with ancient religious and cultural cults of Cuba and the Caribbean.
