- Summary:
- "A sweeping retrospective of the innovative and influential Cuban-born artist, bringing new perspectives to his globe-spanning life and lyrical art. Over a career spanning six decades, Wifredo Lam radically expanded the purview of modernism. Born in Cuba, he spent most of his life in Spain, France, and Italy, and came to embody the figure of the transnational artist in the twentieth century, forging a unique visual style at the confluence of European modernity and Caribbean and African diasporic cultures."-- Provided by publisher's website.
