	WILFREDO LAM
		Wifredo Lam attended San Alejandro between 1918 and 1923; at that time he painted mostly still lifes and landscapes, which he showed in some of the yearly salons organized by the Association of Painters and Sculptors of Havana.
		Lam remained in Spain until 1938, traveling and living for periods of time in Cuenca, Leon, and Barcelona while painting portraits, landscapes, city scenes, and interiors in styles that ranged from realism to cubism and surrealism.
		Lam's rencounter with his native land in 1941 had a decisive effect on his art, perhaps more so than in the case of his contemporaries due to his long absence.

		The Lams believe that of the hundred-odd people who personally brought them works to examine during that period--about half, they say, were collectors, with the rest divided between go-betweens (or "runners") and galleries--two out of five were not acting in good faith.
		Through the early 1990s, the Lams say, the provenance attached to nearly all the fakes they saw was Cuban—"an invariable source in the declarations of the owners" who sought Lou Lam's expertise, as she wrote to then minister of culture Armando Hart in 1990.
		In 1992 Lou Lam sought aid by founding the Association of the Friends of Wifredo Lam (a similar name was subsequently adopted by the Cuban foundation), which included France's then minister of foreign affairs, Roland Dumas (who is now being investigated for accepting bribes from the ELF petroleum company; he denies all charges).

	Lam's Caribbean modernism. - Wilfredo Lam and the International Avant-Garde, 1923-1982 - book review Art in America - ...
		Lam (whose relationship with the government of Fidel Castro could be described as cautiously cordial until his death in 1982) was inevitably connected in the minds of many Americans, including my grandmother, with a '60s version of the "axis of evil."
		By the late 1980s, Lam had become something of a poster child for multiculturalism, his art easily lending itself to (sometimes facile) deconstructions by postcolonialist critics or to readings by essentializing advocates of sacred symbols as an appropriate iconography for emerging nations.
		In her new book on Lam, Lowery Stokes Sims, executive director of the Studio Museum in Harlem, examines the many agendas that have been assigned to the Cuban painter since he first emerged as part of the international avant-garde in the late 1930s.

		In 1923, Lam moved to Madrid, where he studied at the studio of Fernando Alvarez de Sotomayor, the Director of the Museo del Prado (and a teacher of Salvador Dalí).
		Lamâs own multicultural heritage (as the son of a Chinese father and a mother of mixed African, Indian, and European descent) and his involvement with Santería, a religion rooted in African culture, would soon become integral to his work.
		Lamâs exploration of mythic images paralleled that of his contemporaries in New York, the Abstract Expressionists, though Lam used specific subject matter.

	Rereading of Juan Boza'a Critique of Wilfredo Lam: The Emergence of Afro-Cuban Arts in Post-Revolutionary Cuba
		Wilfredo Lam was Cuba’s most celebrated artist of the twentieth century, and his paintings are now permanently on display at the Museum of International Art in Havana, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and other modern art museums, in Europe.
		Lam is best known for his surrealist paintings of tropical scenes and African sculptured figures, of which The Jungle, (1942-1943), is his most famous painting.
		For Lam, a secularist and non-practitioner of the religion, the artistic presentation of the orishas of Lucumí or Santería is through symbols that have been reduced to a myriad of interlaced forms rendered in “surrealist”; style.

		Lam's cultural sources have been fully recognised, although they have always been subordinated to Western avant-garde art; they have never been examined from the point of view of their own effect on that art, in terms of their own particular construction of contemporary 'high' culture.
		The intercultural dialogue implicit in Lam's work is an example of the advantageous use of 'ontological' diversity in the ethnogenesis of the new Latin American nationalities, of which the Caribbean is paradigmatic.
		Lam's painting is a 'primitive' modern cosmogony, a recreation of the world centred in the Caribbean, although it uses the devices of Western art and the space opened up by it.

		This monograph offers an unprecedented opportunity to reconsider Wilfredo Lam's (1902-82) work and sphere of influence after 1947, a period of productivity traditionally relegated to footnote status in previous analyses of his career.
		Lowery Stokes Sims surveys Lam's work, focusing on the period from 1947 onwards, in which he demonstrated the viability of nationalist pursuits within modernism to a new generation of artists.
		What emerges from Lam's story is the fate of Surrealism in the postwar era as it permutated into international artistic movements such as the CoBrA, the Group Phases, and the International Situationists.
