This beautifully illustrated volume, the first monograph on Wifredo Lam since 1989, offers a comprehensive retrospective of the iconic Cuban artist’s life and work.

Tracing a journey that began in Spain, where Lam studied the great European masters—Bosch, Dürer, Velázquez, and Goya—the book follows the defining moments of his artistic evolution. His encounters with Picasso and Breton in Paris shaped a distinctive style at the heart of modernity, marked by the influences of surrealism, Matisse, and African art.

Available November 11, Jacques Leenhardt’s in-depth monograph reveals the originality of Lam’s symbolic and pictorial language, shedding new light on his role in the evolution of twentieth-century visual art.
