Description
Artist: Wifredo Lam (Cuban, 1902 - 1982).
Title: "Composicion".
Medium: Mixed media (Gouache, pastel, and crayon) on paper.
Date: Composed 1973.
Dimensions: Overall size: 16 1/8 x 12 in. (410 x 305 mm).
Lot Note(s): Signed and dated, lower right. Tan wove paper. Very good to fine condition. Provenance: Through the artist Max Ernst; Private collection, Vera Cruz, Mexico. Comment(s): Our example undoubtedly removed from a sketchbook. Lam, like many of the most renowned artists of the 20th century, combined radical modern styles with the "primitive" arts of the Americas. While Diego Rivera and Joaquin Torres-Garcia drew inspiration from Pre-Columbian art, Lam was influenced by the Afro-Cubans of the time. He dramatically synthesized Surrealist and Cubist strategies while incorporating the iconography and spirit of Afro-Cuban religion. Image copyright © The Estate of Wifredo Lam. [30170-3-5000]
