Wifredo Lam in North America
by Curtis L. Carter, Lowery Stokes Sims, Dawn Ades, Valerie J. Fletcher, and Edward Lucie-Smith
"Lam's paintings craft Surrealist conjunctions from Cuban religious iconography--especially from tribal masks--and retrieve a suppressed Afro-Cuban culture that ultimately sets them apart from any movement. It particularly addresses the role of Lam's Afro-Cuban ethnicity in the development of his unusual hybridized vocabulary, a blend of Paris School, Surrealist and Afro-Cuban aesthetics."--Amazon.
