A sweeping retrospective of the innovative and influential Cuban artist, bringing his work into dialogue with new perspectives in art history Over a career spanning five decades, Wifredo Lam (1902-1982) worked tirelessly as he experimented with new methods and ways to visualize the fluidity between physical and metaphysical space. The extent of his influence throughout the Black Atlantic is unrivaled as both a radical innovator and an anti-colonialist. Looking beyond the scope of a single medium, geography, or period, this landmark publication brings together over 100 works from his prolific career, with extensive new photography, discussions of his Afro-Cuban and Asian influences, and the first in-depth analysis of the artist's working methods.
