Est: €500 - €600
WIFREDO LAM (Cuba,1902-Paris, 1982). Untitled. Lithograph, copy 52/99. Signed and justified by hand. Measurements: 75,5 x 55 cm; 91 x 70 cm (frame). Cuban avant-garde painter. In 1916 his family moved to Havana, where he studied at the School of Fine Arts. In 1923, Lam moved to Madrid, where he studied in the workshop of Fernando Alvarez de Sotomayor, director of the Prado Museum. In the 1930s the surrealist influence was evident in Lam's work as well as that of Henri Matisse, and possibly Joaquín Torres-García. In 1938, he went to live in Paris, where Picasso took him under his wing and nurtured his interest in African art and primitivist masks. That same year, he traveled to Mexico where he stayed with Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Lam's varied multicultural heritage manifests itself extensively in his work. During World War II, Lam lived most of the time in the Caribbean, along with Claude Lévi-Strauss, André Masson, and André Breton. Between 1942 and 1950 he held regular exhibitions at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York. In 1946, after a four-month stay in Haiti, Lam returned to France via New York. In 1948 he met Asger Jorn, with whom he became friends for many years. In 1964 he received the Guggenheim International Award, and in 1966 and 1967 numerous retrospectives of his work were held at the Kunsthalle in Basel, the Kestner-Gesellschaft in Hannover, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. He received numerous awards and recognitions. His works can be found in major museums around the world. In this composition Lam's own style is fully manifested, a peculiar combination of surrealism and Caribbean spirituality.

WIFREDO LAM (Sagua La Grande, Cuba, 1902 – Paris, 1982). “The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship,” 1976. Lithograph on paper, print no. 82/99. Signed and inscribed in pencil. Measurements: 76 x 55.5 cm. Wifredo Lam trained in Havana, where he studied at the School of Fine Arts. He made his solo debut in the early 1920s with an exhibition at the Salon of the Association of Painters and Sculptors in the Cuban capital. In 1923, he moved to Madrid on a scholarship from the City Council of Sagua La Grande, where he continued his training in the studio of Fernando Álvarez de Sotomayor, director of the Prado Museum and known for having been Salvador Dalí’s teacher. At the same time, he attended the Academia Libre del Pasaje de la Alhambra and visited the Prado, where his preferences leaned toward the works of Bosch, Brueghel, and Goya. Gradually, his painting took on a modern style that combined a geometric structure with a certain surrealist streak. In 1938, he traveled to Paris with a letter of recommendation for Picasso written by Manolo Hugué. Lam, who had had the opportunity to attend Picasso’s exhibition held in Madrid in 1936, described this experience as “a profound shock.” In 1939, he held his first solo exhibition in Paris, organized by Pierre Loeb. During World War II, Lam remained in the Caribbean, in contact with representatives of the avant-garde such as Masson and Breton, who, fascinated by the Cuban artist’s paintings, asked him to illustrate his poem “Fata Morgana” (1940). Upon his return to Cuba, Lam began an artistic practice rooted in the heritage of a people who, in the painter’s view, needed to reclaim their dignity. In this way, indigenous references merged with the formal language he had learned in Europe to produce works in which the figures of the Yoruba pantheon—who would come to populate much of his later work—already appeared. In the second half of the 1940s, Lam divided his time between Cuba, New York, and Paris, the latter of which he made his home in 1952. His international reputation grew steadily, and he held regular exhibitions at galleries such as the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York. He traveled extensively during the following years and, in 1960, settled in Albisola Mare, on the Italian coast. In 1961, he received the International Guggenheim Award, and between 1966 and 1967, multiple retrospectives of his work were held at the Kunsthalle in Basel.

Printing and edition Polígrafa, Barcelona. Ref: Catalogue raisonné Tonneau-Ryckelynck nº7617. Measurements: 76 x 56 cm. Wifredo Lam was formed in Havana, where he studied at the School of Fine Arts.

WILFREDO LAM (Sagua La Grande, Cuba, 1902 - Paris, 1982). "Avila", 1932. Oil on canvas. Work reproduced in LAURIN-LAM, Lou: Catalogue Raisonné of the Painted Work Volume I 1923-1960. Acatos, 1996. P. 234. Cat. 32.04. B/W rep. Signed, dedicated "to my good friend Dr. Cordero" and dated in the upper right area. Measurements: 70 x 90 cm; 100 x 118 cm (frame). Long before Lam achieved international recognition for the complex Afro-Cuban and surrealist syntheses that would define his maturity, this work testifies to a moment of formation and search in which he was still in intense dialogue with the Spanish pictorial tradition and with certain European symbolist and expressionist sensibilities. Far from the tropical exuberance and hybrid figures that would later make his language famous, "Avila" is presented as a severe and monumental vision of the Castilian landscape, conceived from a deeply personal point of view. This painting belongs to a decisive period in Wifredo Lam's life. Initially trained in Havana, the artist moved to Spain in 1923 thanks to a scholarship, settling in Madrid and coming into contact with the intellectual and artistic environment of the time. During those years he studied both the classical Spanish tradition, particularly Diego Velázquez and Francisco de Goya, and the modern avant-gardes that were beginning to transform the European panorama. Lam's Spanish decade was also marked by painful personal experiences, including the loss of his wife and son, events that intensified the introspective and dramatic tone of many works of this period. The choice of Avila as a motif does not seem coincidental. The Castilian city, historically associated with mysticism, religious recollection and a deeply rooted medieval memory, offered Lam an ideal setting to explore a painting charged with spiritual density. The scene depicts the famous medieval walls of the city of Avila, dominated by the imposing architecture of the cathedral rising above the horizon. However, Lam does not approach the motif from a topographical or documentary perspective. The artist transforms the city into an almost metaphysical presence. The stone fortifications, built with a thick, fragmented brushstroke, acquire a sculptural density that turns the architecture into a living, silent organism. The wall seems to emerge from the earth with an ancestral gravity, while the small houses in the foreground accentuate, by contrast, the monumental and almost oppressive dimension of the whole. The atmospheric quality of the work stands out for its quality. The sky, worked with greenish, grayish and bluish tones, introduces an emotional tension that permeates the entire composition. There is no festive luminosity or picturesque idealization; the landscape appears enveloped in an unsettling, almost spiritual calm. This ability to transform an urban setting into a psychological experience reveals Lam's sensitivity to modern European trends, especially to certain echoes of expressionism and late symbolism. Seen from the perspective of the artist's later career, this work is of great interest because it allows us to observe a moment of transition. Although the Afro-Cuban imagery that would define later masterpieces such as La Jungla does not yet appear, there is a tendency to convert visible reality into a symbolic and emotional experience. The work thus reveals itself as a fundamental testimony of the artist's years of apprenticeship and maturation. Spanish tradition, modern European sensibility and an early inclination towards the enigmatic and the spiritual converge in it. Work reproduced in LAURIN-LAM, Lou: Catalogue Raisonné of the Painted Work Volume I 1923-1960. Acatos, 1996. P. 234. Cat. 32.04. B/W rep.

(inverted image) In this painting by Wifredo Lam, Surrealism leaves the realm of mental constructs and returns to earth - to ritual and an archaic dimension. The work is characterized by a strongly tribal, primitivist visual language in which Afro-Cuban heritage takes shape as a sharply defined graphic symbol. We are immersed in the cultural universe of Santería, within an aesthetic that intertwines the human, the animal, and the machine. The silhouette that cuts through the red of the surface – is it a rocket, an arrow, a ritual object? – it succinctly expresses the tension in Lam’s work between the speed of the future and the immobility of eternal myth. It is an art that does not seek to please, but rather to evoke presence – a modern totem that speaks of identity and of a spiritual force that cannot be tamed.
